I noticed in my installation (Eclipse 3.4) that the instructions above didn’t work.
I tracked down the problem, and in the file:

/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml

I inserted the line shown below by ‘+’

. . .
+
. . .

That seemed to do it for me.
Cheers,

Hi wg,

This seems to work as far as it goes. I’m able to add a modified project to an embedded Server. Unfortunately, when I attempt to run the application, a class that is clearly found in in project/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes/com/… can’t be located by the server’s class loader.

In this case, the code in the project implements a web service interface. When I use the Web Services Explorer to invoke the service, the fault returned is as follows:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/matrixone/cbp/ws/CBPService at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.findClassInternal(WebappClassLoader.java:1847) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.findClass(WebappClassLoader.java:873) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1326) at org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java:1205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319) etc.

Note: I have two projects in play here. Both are added to the Server and one lists the other as a dependency. The latter has the class that is not found by the class loader.

Any suggestions appreciated.

A faceted project allows the addition of natures to a project. A simple faceted project .project config file looks like this: faceted-project org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.builder org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature I found that copying the buildcommand and nature tags above into an existing project's .project file and refreshing allows me to bring up the project's properties dialog and then add the desired Java and Web Project natures.

Lincoln,

Basically when I’m trying to add/modify a facet because of a mistake when creating the project or I want to change the direction of the project, I typically do it at the file level and then restart Eclipse to see the change.

To this I’ll create an empty project of the type I want, look at the file system to see what files were created and where the Facets I need are specified and then manually copy and past them into the appropriate file in the existing project. Eclipse will recognize the project when it loads and treat it accordingly.
