8:00 – 5:00 VISIBILITY

• Tentative meeting to discuss + data with Anne and Matt on Wednesday afternoon
• Looks like I’m going to be taking classes at UMBC from 10:00 – 11:00 Wed/Fri. No one schedule meetings then until May 13 🙂
• Working on automatic table creation. Instead of using the describeType xml directly, I now use it to create a smaller table that gets size information from the data in the object. Next is automating that process and inserting some data.
• I really want to see how  data comes to a remote object, so I’m attempting to connect the debugger to my Tomcat instance.
  • Downloading the server adapters from the Eclipse  Web tools package. Actually, it looks like you have to download the whole WTP. I did not download the SDK version
  • Got Eclipse to control the server instance in the installed directory.
    • Create a new server in the Eclipse “Server” view
    • Right-click on the server and select “Open F3”. This brings up a configuration page.
    • Set the “Server Location” to “Use Tomcat Installation (takes control of Tomcat installation)
    • Tried just connecting to the remote object, but no joy. Next thing will be to try to create a dynamic web project in the normal Tomcat location where I can see the logs. Also, general behavior should be easier to tease out.
