Eclipse modifies server.xml each time run the project (Run-->Run on Server)

I'm using Tomcat 7 on Eclipse Juno. I use workspace metadata as server location (Please see my tomcat configurations below).

Tomcat configurations

Also I got a Server project in eclipse [please see the image below] with separate server.xml and other configuration files.

Server project

Normally it works fine. The issue came across after I changed the server.xml (in eclipse project) for SSL configurations.

Configurations are working fine. But each time I run the project (Run-->Run on Server) server.xml get modified to the default version. My customized SSL changes are missing.

Also I tried to change server.xml in tomcat installation location (C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.35\conf), but it didn't pick from eclipse.

Can anyone please help me on this?

Thanks

Solution

  • I found an applicable solution but not a perfect one.

    What I have done is;

    1.Changed server.xml file in installation location (In my case C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.35\conf)

    2.Remove tomcat server from eclipse server panel (please see the image below)

    3.Create a new server in eclipse server panel.

    4.Then Server project will be generated new server.xml with my customized changes.

    5.The trick is, initially eclipse picks server.xml from installation location when create a new server in panel.

    Thanks
