Description Kelvin Cheung CLA 2006-03-17 17:31:38 EST 
This is an enhancement request for future release.

In current WTP, IServer.canStart only indicates whether a server is startable.  It does not go to the delegate and consult whether a server can be truly started or not.
Comment 1 Tim deBoer CLA 2006-03-19 13:29:15 EST 
What do you mean by "go to the delegate"? Do you just want to check if a delegate exists? There is only so much static checking that can be done, and at some point the only thing to do is try launching the server.
Comment 2 Tim deBoer CLA 2006-09-05 10:01:36 EDT 
Please respond or close the bug (or I will). What kind of checking do you expect to happen? Is there a specific case where you think canStart() should return false that it currently isn't?
Comment 3 Yen Lu CLA 2006-09-05 10:03:44 EDT 
I *think* we're looking for this method to return false in the case of a remote server when the remote server implementation cannot be started. Currently, it returns true and, when WTP Web services attemps to start this server, it fails.
