I have a custom directory structure for my web projects so the source and web root need to be changed in the web deployment assembly panel of the properties. problem is whenever I change them it works fine until I shut down the IDE. When I restart the IDE the settings go back to the defaults of:
src -> /WEB-INF/classes
/WebRoot -> /

How do I make these changes permanent so they survive a restart of the IDE?

Thanks

sorry forgot to mention I am using:
MEB 10.7.1
Windows 7

vm_info: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (11.3-b02) for windows-x86 JRE (1.6.0_13-b03), built on Mar 9 2009 01:15:24 by “java_re” with MS VC++ 7.1 (from the MEB log files)

Andre Azaroff,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue. I could not replicate the issue at my end.

1. Can you please try switching to a new workspace and check if the issue persists ?
2. Do you have any third party plugins which might update the deployment settings?
3. If you are seeing the issue with a new workspace too, please try replicating the issue with a simple new project and send the project to us after you make the deployment assembly changes and after your changes have been removed.

Let us know how it works for you.

I tried what you said, went to a different existing project and it didn’t work (same results). I started a brand new workspace with empty projects and the settings did get saved. These existing projects that are not working were either created with MEB 8.6 or IBM’s RAD tool set and migrated MEB.

Where is this setting saved? Is there some legacy file or configuration I can remove (maybe left over from our RAD migration) to fix the issue? Maybe some compatibility directive that I can delete?

Do you still want me to attach the exports of one of the existing projects that it is failing on? I am not sure my employer would want me to ship you our code base wholesale so if you can tell me which files are needed to be attached I can do that without sending you the whole workspace.

Thanks

andreazaroff,

The deployment assembly settings are stored in the file:
.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component

Even after changing manually, if the issue persists, you can strip your project of the source code and send us all the *.files (.project, .classpath, .settings folder, etc.) to help us investigate further.

Let us know how it works for you.
