What is the MyEclipse tomcat server?

The tomcat server embedded in MyEclipse can help developers run development projects immediately, while avoiding the hassle of downloading, installing, and configuring application servers on the Web. With MyEclipse you can immediately deploy, run, and debug your Web project without the need for additional configuration.

For the introduction of embedded Tomcat servers, let's look at the server view first.

Server View

The server view has the MyEclipse Tomcat server and the embedded MyEclipse Derby database server. From this view you can start, stop, and add items to the server. You can also manage the state of the server by running the server icon on the toolbar.

Managing servers from the main toolbar

In addition to server controls, you can access the configuration settings for embedded Tomcat by double-clicking the server in the server view.

MyEclipse Tomcat configuration settings

The Server Parameters page allows you to recover MyEclipse Tomcat server damage by default or you want to restore a custom configuration. Access the Parameters page, right-click on the server and select Properties from the menu.

Precautions :

The JAX-WS reference implements the addition of libraries to the embedded MyEclipse Tomcat server to make it easier to develop JAX-WS and Test. Deploying the project to an external tomcat server or any other server that is not compatible with JAVAEE5 may require additional tuning of the JAX-WS project's build path. For more information, see Jax-ws Tutorial.

The MyEclipse Tomcat server is available for all Java 5 and current 6 jdk. However, if you want to run MyEclipse Tomcat using JDK 6来, use the JDK 6 update of 4 (1.6.0_04) or later to avoid compatibility issues with JAX-WS APIs.
