I haven't done it but you could set up tomcat with a webapp whose docbase points to the /WebContent directory of your services dynamic web project. It is always good practice to separate interface from implementation anyway. And I always have my dfs service classes delegate to actual implementation class as this streamlines the dfs build process and, in terms of inline development, will minimize the number of times that the service classes change. I have to say though Eclipse WTP has worked hard on their Server pieces and I have always found the synchronization to work reasonably well, for tomcat and BEA at least. So, setting up an inline development process would seem to run against this effort. I personally have always prefered to let WTP do it's stuff. Theoretically this could work Ingo.

Meaning skip the package and deploy part but have Tomcat run the source right out of your workspace? (Could work as long as the interface stays the same and only the implementation get's touched) Have you managed to run all of this inline?

And we have had problems in the past with noclassdeffounderrors when users are running Composer on a JRE instead of a JDK. So, by way of a large-ish guess, perhaps you are running JRE6 instead of JDK6? Actually I am not even sure if you DFS supports Java 6. As a rule Documentum is still Java 5. So actually I would recommend configuring your Composer on JDK5 and then re-trying. HTH _Paul Well javax.tools is a Java 6 package.

This post was doing two things really. Firstly, I felt it would help the subset of our developer community who needed more control of their DFS services. Secondly, researching and writing it was helping me distill my thoughts on the next generation of DFS integration that leverages WTP. We are beta testing this internally as we speak. I have been meaning to write a post on it which I will do soon to give you guys a heads-up about whats coming shortly in this regard. Of course I would also love to hear about anything else specific that you need or would like. Many thanks _Paul Hi Ingo,
