when the server starts from eclipse
ide i cannot run the manager application..
i know this is quite a known issue and after lots of googling and searching coderanch posts..i tried various methods but didn't succeeded..
what i gain from searching is that;;
1.tomcat instance is different for eclipse ide..
2.i copied root and manager folder to C:\~\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps
and also edited the tomcat-users xml in the abve location under conf with a role defined for manager-gui.
that way i gained access to root app and the homepage gets displayed but the "manager app" is not accessible which is my concern here.
3.i tried modifying vm arguments catalina.home and catalina.base to
tomcat directory also, didn't work.
though when i start tomcat from terminal separately(eclipse closed) i can access the manager app.
what i want is to integrate that manager app with the eclipse projects
