Designer Web Project Example

[colinzhao]

So I have got my GWT project added to a Web project. I got the following error when I run the web project with tomcat. I have the server configured to point to the directory with my tomcat install.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap

Exception in thread "main"

It has been a while since last time I looked at the Designer Web project feature. I need to add a few things to the web.xml, and I thought it is to support this need. Do you have an example/tutorial to show how to?

Thanks.

I have no idea what org/apache/catalina/startup/Bootstrap is.

We do not have any sort of Web project tutorial. All of the web project docs are here.

After the project is created, how do I launch the server with the project? The Designer Web Project differs from the WTP Web Project. I am trying to figure out how to run my GWT module with the project. You doc through the link doesn't have enough details, or I don't know whereelse to find them.

That is entirely up to you and the server you are using and outside the scope of what we can help you with.

Our Web project support is very lightweight (as an alternative to having all of WTP loaded) and just for deployment (to include several compiled GWT modules with the content of a standard Web project).

If you are actually using WTP, then just use a WTP Web Project.
