How do i view the log/console for the J2EE Preview server/container in Eclipse?

Question

Hi,

I'm working on a struts2 web app in Eclipse, and am using the built-in J2EE Preview server. How can i view the logs / console for it?

I'm having some problems and now my previously working site is showing Error 404 everywhere, and the console tab at the bottom window of eclipse isn't showing anything.

Cheers all

edit: Here's some screenshots of my console and servers tabs in eclipse:

Answer 1

There are two buttons on the right side of the Console in Eclipse:

• Display Selected Console (a picture of a monitor)
• Open Console - a picture of an application window

Try changing their drop-down values to find your needed console. That's of course if your setup is correct.

Answer 2

In the end, i gave up and downloaded and installed tomcat and used it as my preview server. The console has much more informative stack traces with tomcat.
