Andrew,

Yeah, a few times new dependencies were not pushed even though they
appeared in the ivy library.
On a sad/funny side, the WAR file does contain the deps that I am  
looking
for that seemingly don't get pushed to the WTP server.

I guess I'll start using my build scripts to publish a WAR to an  
AppServer.

I am not a WTP user, but what about making IvyDE retrieve [1] the  
jars into
the WEB-INF/lib of your eclipse project, and tell WTP about the  
jars in
WEB-INF/lib more than about the IvyDE container ?
If your dependencies don't often change, it can be a good work  
around I think.

I too have thought that retrieve might alleviate the issues, but  
admittedly hadn't yet tried it.  I have somewhat of a gut reaction  
against retrieval vs. using artifacts from cache, but I might try it  
sometime.

I'm afraid I can't help you, just piping in to say that I've got
basically the same problem - it doesn't always seem to publish my
dependencies. I'm publishing to Jetty, not Tomcat, but even so...

And even when it does publish them, it doesn't publish any new
dependencies (e.g. if I build a new version (with a new filename)  
of a
dependency, it doesn't get picked up straight away - I typically  
have
to close/reopen the project for it to work). Drove me up the wall to
the point where I just gave up, and began using Eclipse's remote
debugging stuff to connect to Glassfish, and just completely  
ignoring
WTP. Yes, it means I have to undeploy/redeploy to get new things
picked up by Glassfish, but it beats spending hours trying to get  
this
working with WTP.

All,

I've constantly had problems getting my dependencies declared in  
ivy to

be

published to the tomcat server.
Before you answer just add the JavaEE module dep, I have already  
done
that...

When I check my .metadata where the WebApp is being published, I  
don't

see a

lib directory under WEB-INF.

I am using eclipse 3.5, MaxOSX, IVY 2.1.0 IVYDE 2.0.0 final.


Any thoughts?  Any way to debug this?
I tried a few options:

ivy with all confs
Wiped our my tomcat, forced a republish...  No effect.


To prove I didn't miss the JavaEE module dep:
Here's my .classpath

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<classpath>
        <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes"
path="src/main/java"/>
        <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/test/resources"/>
        <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/test-classes"

        <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main/antlr3"/>
        <classpathentry excluding="**" kind="src"

output="target/classes"

        <classpathentry kind="con"

                </attributes>
        </classpathentry>
        <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
</classpath>

Tomcat is complaining about a spring web context class..

SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener


However...

I do have spring-web-....  listed as a dep/jar in ivy.xml
And the jar does have the missing class...

package org.springframework.web.context;

import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;

/**
 * Bootstrap listener to start up and shut down Spring's root  
{...@link
WebApplicationContext}.
 * Simply delegates to {...@link ContextLoader} as well as to {...@link
ContextCleanupListener}.
 *
 * <p>This listener should be registered after
 * {...@link org.springframework.web.util.Log4jConfigListener}
 * in <code>web.xml</code>, if the latter is used.

 */
public class ContextLoaderListener extends ContextLoader  
implements
ServletContextListener {

As I said, I do a few cleans, have wiped out the server.  changed
workspace.  Issue remains the same...

I never do see WEB-INF/lib get created under the appropriate  
directory

under

.metadata in my workspace.


Any thoughts?  I don't think I'm doing anything silly/obviously
wrong... I have had this flaky behaviour before where publish  
wouldn't
always publish...  It did work eventually...  [After cleans,  
Destroy
servers, change workspace]
