Eclipse : Starting tomcat server from eclipse , does not start the deployed wars

问题

I have configured Tomcat Server in Eclipse Helios IDE , and started the server in Debug Mode .

This Server has already got a war file probe.war .

My question is,why this application probe.war has not been started when i started the Server from Eclipse IDE ??

This is the server console eclipse under the Eclipse IDE .

WTP offers integration between Eclipse and Tomcat, if you're not using it, you're more on your own.

As you said in the comment, you've manually placed the war file, but since you're starting Tomcat with Eclipse, the webapps directory configured by Eclipse is not the same one you're using, so your application doesn't get deployed.

To solve your problem either:

• configure your application properly, so you can right click on it and choose Debug As -> Debug on server
• or, configure it externally, by following the steps to debug a remote tomcat application, and start your tomcat server from the command line, so your war will get deployed.
