I am currently setting up a Web Service environment for developing SOAP Web services in a linux box (Ubuntu 12.04). I want to use Eclipse EE Juno with Apache Tomcat 7. I successfully install tomcat (using the sudo apt-get install) and configure it as a Server runtime environment in Eclipse. When, I deploy a web service in order to test it, everything works fine. However, when I type the URL to my browser, nothing works. It seems that Apache tomcat is up and running, but no web services are deployed (in fact i receive an HTTP Status 404 from tomcat). Being curious, I go to “/var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/” directory in order to check if any web application is deployed, and there are no web applications.
What may be the matter? How can I configure correctly my tomcat in order to work with Eclipse and be able to deploy and test my web applications through the IDE?
Thank you.
Problem solved by configuring to IDE to have all the pribileges on the server.
