I have a single web project that has two dependent java projects. I have all the library deployment options selected, which I assume should deploy the jars on my dependent projects’ build paths. However, when I deploy the web project, it does not deploy the jars of the other projects, while it does deploy the dependent projects’ class files.

I have tried undeplying and redeploying several times but I never get the jars.

Anything I can do to automate the procedure, short of adding the dependent jars to the web projects build path? I don’t want to do that, since the auto deployment is actually working for another developer on my team and I don’t want to mess up the .classpath files to work around this.

Thanks.
Robin.

I had the other developer check again and his jars are not getting deployed.

Are dependent projects’ jars suposed to get automatically deployed or is this just wishful thinking?

THanks.
Robin.

Is anyone out there?

I have a follow-up that is related. Why are the J2EE Library Container jars not deployed with the web-app that has them referenced in its build path? Do I need to manually insert every jar I want, as opposed to using the myEclipse packaged jars, which get added automatically when making a web project?

Check the preference page MyEclipse/J2EE Project/Web Project -> Deployment. There is a group of checkboxes named “Library Deployment Policies”. Check respective checkboxes to get referenced jars deployed. In 5.0.0M1 these checkboxes are checked by default so you are unlikely to encounter such issues.

Thanks for the response but I guess I should have offered more detail – I have all the checkboxes checked. And since my original post, I have upgraded to myEclipse 4.1.1GA under Eclipse 3.1.1.

To get around my orginal problem of being unable to deploy jars in dependent-projects’ build paths, I folded those projects into my web-app. However, my current question still stands: should I expect that jars listed under the myEclipse J2EE 1.4 Library Container be deployed automatically? In particular, the activation.jar is included in the myEclipse plugin but does not get deployed. I assume deployment takes only the jars it finds in the lib folder and will not include the jars from the myEclipse plugin folder?

I just need to know the expected behaviour, so I know whether to just include the jars in my web-app directly and not use the myEclipse library, to import those jars from the external plugins directory.

Thanks.

I’m sorry, I thought your problem is another one common problem 🙂
J2EE 1.4 library container is not deployed to an app. server as it is expected that those classes will be provided by the application server itself.

[Andrew Shackleton]

Thanks, that’s what I figured. Tomcat 5.5 doesn’t include the activation.jar.

Thanks.
