Hi Experts:



I read your article at


I am using JBoss(3.0.0) which is BUNDLED with Tomcat(4.0.3). I am using IDEA(3.0.1). I am using WIN XP.



I want to INTEGRATE TOMCAT with my IDE and followed your instructions. I first installed jbossIntegrationlib directory to my C:IDEAplugin and then followed your instruction to create web app. My web app name is kithany and created a directory kithany.war in JBossserverdefaultdeploy



When a create a NEW Project in IDEA I enter following information:

Name: kithany

Location: C:Documents and SettingsmkithanyIdeaProjectskithany.ipr

Target JDK 1.3

Compiler output path C:JBossserverdefaultdeploykithany.warWEB-INFclasses


Project Path C:JBossserverdefaultdeploykithany.war

Source Path C:JBossserverdefaultdeploykithany.war

Classpath Selected all files in

C:jdk1.3lib ools.jar

C:Jbosscatalinaservercommonlib*.jar

C:Jbosscatalinaserverlib*.jar





Later when I RUN. I get a screen wherein I ADD a WebApp with following information:

Name:kithany

Web Application Name: kithany (C:JBossserverdefaultdeploykithany.war)

Application Server: Tomcat

Debuggee Host: localhost

Debuggee Port: 5050

Catalina Home: C:JBosscatalina

Path to Catalina Config: C:JBosscatalinaconf

Application context path: kithany



After clicking APPLY and then RUN I get following ERROR wonder why?
