Running a Web Module Using Tomcat

See Also

When you execute a web module that has Tomcat as the target server, the IDE automatically builds, deploys, and executes the module.

To execute a web module using Tomcat:

  1. In the Filesystems window, right-click the web module's WEB-INF node.
  2. Choose Execute from the contextual menu.

    The IDE deploys the web module and opens the root of the web module in the browser.

The Output window displays error information and the HTTP monitor displays requests, data states, and the servlet environment.

Troubleshooting

If you get an error message indicating that a resource is not available, check to verify the following:

If you are using an external browser without an Internet connection to execute JSPs, you must set the browser to connect directly to the Internet. Do not use a proxy or configuration proxy URL. For more information about using external browsers, see the online help page entitled Accessing Local Files Through a Proxy in the Core IDE Help. This page is available from the Web Browser section of the Configuring the Environment folder in the Core IDE Help.
