“SetPropertiesRule” warning message when starting Tomcat from Eclipse [duplicate]

Answer 1

The separate XML solution never worked for me and other's recently ...

I usually follow this process and something helps:

1. Stop the server (Make sure its stopped via Task Manager, I killed javaw.exe as many times Eclipse doesn't really shut down properly)
2. Right click the Server->'Add and Remove'. Remove the project. Finish.
3. Right click the Server->'Add and Remove'. Add the project. Finish.
4. Restart see if works, if not continue
5. Double click the Server... See where its getting published (Server Path: which I think goes to a tmp# directory for me since I use an already-installed Tomcat instance I re-use, not sure if would be different if use Eclipse's internal/bundled tomcat server)
6. Right click on Server and 'Clean' ... Last one worked for me last time (so may want to try this first), Adding/Removing project worked for me other times. If doesn't work, continue ...
7. Delete all files from the Server Path and see if all files actually get built and published there (/WEB-INF/classes and other regular files in / webroot).
8. Restart Eclipse and/or machine (not sure I ever needed to get to this point)

Answer 2

From Eclipse Newsgroup:

The warning about the source property is new with Tomcat 6.0.16 and may be ignored. WTP adds a "source" attribute to identify which project in the workspace is associated with the context. The fact that the Context object in Tomcat has no corresponding source property doesn't cause any problems.

I realize that this doesn't answer how to get rid of the warning, but I hope it helps.

Answer 3

Make sure you have correct jsp file name in web.xml file. By replacing default .jsp filename in web.xml with my current filename solved the problem

Answer 4

I respect all the solutions given here.

But what I came to know after reading all these, we haven't observed that on which folder the struts.xml file or any configuration file which is necessary for the web application.

My SOULUTION IS:

1. copy the struts.xml file to the src folder of our project.
2. click "file-->save all" in eclipse and go click "project-->clean".
3. restart the server.

Hope the problem solved.

Answer 5

Delete the server instance from Eclipse and create a new one.

I had the same problem with Eclipse 3.4(Ganymede) and dynamic web project.
The message didn't influence successfull deploy.But I had to delete row

<wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/>

from org.eclipse.wst.common.component file in .settings folder of Eclipse
