[wtp-dev] Web services smoke test passed with workaround using I20051116

[Kathy Chan <kathy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The Web services smoke test passed using
the I20051116_1731 driver.  However there are couple of workarounds
required related to target runtime and JRE version.

1. If you install Tomcat 5.0 runtime
and the default JRE is 1.4.2, then the target runtime would show up properly
when creating Dynamic Web project.  However, if the default JRE is
1.5, then target runtime would be blank and you'll have to go to the 2nd
page of the dynamic Web project, explicitly change the Java version from
5.0 to 1.4, select Bind to bind Tomcat 5.0 to the project.
- Similarly, if you had installed Tomcat
5.5 runtime and the default JRE is not 1.5, then the target runtime would
not show up.

Defect 116699 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=116699
- Facet wizards runtime selection should default facet versions) had been
opened for this problem.

2. If you had create a dynamic Web project
targeting Tomcat 5.5, then you'll need to set default JRE for your workspace
to JRE 1.5.  Otherwise, you'll get unsupportedClassVersionError when
trying to access classes in that Web project.  See defect 116713 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=116713)
for more detail.
