Description Angel Vera CLA 2008-07-25 17:50:32 EDT 
Using Tomcat, Run On Server action launches WebBrowser before the server has reached the Started state, and the page display shows as a error. This might be related to some changes that we missed in bug 240918.
Comment 1 Angel Vera CLA 2008-08-01 10:17:28 EDT 
Further investigating it seems to be a problem affecting Tomcat 5.5, I tried to recreated with Tomcat 6.0 and I didn't get the problem.

Debugging through the code Tomcat does not implement a restart and so I don't think the problem is related to bug 240918 as those changes affect only server that implement restart. 

Will need to investigate more.

Hi Angel,

I haven't seen this behavior.  I'll be glad to help investigate, but will need more details about your use case.

Cheers,
Larry

Hi Larry, 

I had time to look into this, the key in this bug is that the switch of state needs to happen. The steps are as follow using a Tomcat 6.0.14:

1. Create a web project
2. Add the web project to the Server
3. Start the server in normal mode
(at this point everything is working fine, you add a jsp and the jsp gets published)
4. Right click on the JSP, and select 'Debug As'
5. A dialog will come up and prompt you to switch modes
(this is where the problem happened)
6. The browser launches displaying the URL, but it will soon display a 'Action Canceled' or something similar, because the server is still in the restarting cycle.
