Web and WebWorks Development

[mam2009]

Hello everybody,

I have a small java web application running on Apache Tomcat on a local machine. It is running well on my PC, but it is targeted to Blackberry devices. Before I put into our web server, I want to test it on a Blackberry 8300 and 8900 emulators. Is that possible? I have developed this web application using Spring on Netbeans IDE, i.e. no Blackberry special tool.

I appreciate every hint and tip!

Thank you.

Hello,

I am not a Java developer but have you tried the Eclipse Plug-in?

[mam2009]

Hi,

Thank you for your reply..

I have installed the plug-in in Eclipse already, but my application is developed in NetBeans.

My question was whether one can open a given website (in my case a web application) using the Blackberry Emulator in an independent-way of the development process. That is, I have a url address ( localhost:8080/MyWebApplication/index.htm), can I anyway open this url using a Blackberry Emulator? I need to test how the Emulator reacts to the database connections in my machine.

Thanks again

I don't think so. Because the simulator only connects to localhost with the plug-in.

Thanks again for your reply,

I have made the Simulator working well but in another Tomcat installation and port than the running Eclipse-Tomcat-Blackberry Simulator. It is working ell, except that I have some JavaScript problems, though :-)

Thanks again

You can also use the Eclipse plugin to debug any arbitrary URL, it doesn't have to be a website built in Eclipse..

Check out the following link for a walk through on how to use the tool.

And this should get you going on how to debug a remote web page:
