Re: [higgins-dev] eclipse WTP bugs

[Anthony Bussani <bus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all your hints !
I have checked all points and unfortunately everything seems ok, project_loc 
defined, IdAs AntBuild.launch in good location.
I've even tryed to use an Idas.jar and to close the idas project, the dialog 
J2EE modules dialog box reapeared, but the deployment was failing, with a new 
exception related to the variable pointing to this jar :(
I will try again when a new WST release is out, but in meanwhile use your ant 
files.
I was wondering: is there a deploy.wsdd for the TrustService (and the others 
WS) ? I have only found one to define handlers/serializer.
I will write one but I want to be sure to not forget anything (some others 
handlers) ?
Thanks for your help !

Anthony.
