RE: eclipse and openamf

Have you tried going into your web project properties in eclipse? You
should see a Tomcat section that has a checkbox saying "Redirect context
logger to Eclipse console".  That should at least start logging
something to the Eclipse console depending on what the logging levels
are set at in your tomcat configuration, right? Not sure if that would
do the trick since I have gone the log4j route as well for web
application logging.

Subject: Re: [Openamf-user] eclipse and openamf

Hmm...

Thats interesting martin, and if I had to do it it would still be much
better than what I was doing when I *wasnt* using eclipse. But I have
been seduced by the idea of actually debugging in eclipse and getting
the benefit of the eclipse debugger while debugging my server side
code. I ***love*** the idea of setting breakpoints and being able to
test code and observe and stop and start and all that stuff from
within eclipse.

So...

I am really hoping that someone out there can tell me that what I want
to do is possible (and not insanely difficult) to setup.

Regards
Hank
