Change Tomcat Server's timeout in Eclipse

Question

When I try to run my Tomcat I get a message:

Server Tomcat v6.0 Server at localhost was unable to start within 45 seconds. If the server requires more time,          


        

Answer 1

double click tomcat , see configure setting with "timeout" modify the number. Maybe this not the tomcat error.U can see the DB connection is achievable.

Answer 2

SOLVED: That's it!!!! For me was compiling with JDK6 but running Tomcat with JDK7, WST uses the system properties and not the eclipse settings. I also configure the same JDK Version in eclipse and in System (check it with java -version in cmd line)

Details: I try to configure eclipse like describe here, but it didn´t solve the problem, then I notice in eclipse´s error log that tomcat was started with jre 1.7. in spite of my configurations.

I also try, in cmd line, 'java -version' and obtained '1.7' instead of expected '1.6'.

I also decide to configure java 1.6 (like in eclipse) in system panel but it didn´t solve the problem. I also desinstall jre 1.7 restart eclipse AND IT SUCCESS!.. It was a very usefull clue, thank you.

Answer 3

Open the Servers view -> double click tomcat -> drop down the Timeouts section

There you can increase the startup time for each particular server.

Answer 4

I also had the issue of the Eclipse Tomcat Server timing out and tried every suggestion including:

• increasing timeout seconds
• deleting various .metadata files in workspace directory
• deleting the server instance in Eclipse along with the Run Config

Nothing worked until I read Rohitdev's comment and realized that I had, in fact added a breakpoint in an interceptor class after a big code change and had forgotten to toggle it off. I removed it and all other breakpoints and Tomcat started right up.
