First one is itb_obj,and the other is ita_obj. The ita_obj is now running. And ita_obj's files are in the directory "tmp1".How can I make them in the directory tmp0? I have tried to uninstalled the itb_obj,I think the tmp0 belongs to itb_obj.But the text of servers.xml and tmp-data.xml can not be modified automaticlly.Could you tell me some detail? HI,

There's nothing preventing you from adding 10 different server instances to a single workspace - just right click on the Servers view and select New > Server. Now the obvious question is - how to figure out which server instance matches with which directory? Some server plugins will show the temporary deploymnent directory on the server configuration page (Tomcat, for example, shows the directory path in the 'Server path' text box). For most other servers, you have to correlate 2 files located in the org.eclipse.wst.server.core directory: <b>tmp-data.xml</b> and <b>servers.xml</b>. <b>tmp-data.xml</b> will contain something like the following: <code> <temp-directory age="1" key="4_2_08_3_33_PM1" path="tmp3"/> </code> You match the key in there: <b>4_2_08_3_33_PM1</b> with the server configuration in the <b>servers.xml</b> file: <code> <server hostname="localhost" id="4_2_08_3_33_PM1" name="GlassFish V2" runtime-id="GlassFish V2 Java EE 5" server-type= "com.sun.enterprise.jst.server.sunappsrv91" server-type-id="com.sun.enterprise.jst.server.sunappsrv91" timestamp="3"> </code> Hope that helps! @Mathias,

For most other servers, you have to correlate 2 files located in the org.eclipse.wst.server.core directory: tmp-data.xml and servers.xml.

tmp-data.xml will contain something like the following:
<temp-directory age="1" key="4_2_08_3_33_PM1" path="tmp3"/>

You match the key in there: 4_2_08_3_33_PM1 with the server configuration in the servers.xml file:

<server hostname="localhost" id="4_2_08_3_33_PM1" name="GlassFish V2" runtime-id="GlassFish V2 Java EE 5" server-type=
"com.sun.enterprise.jst.server.sunappsrv91" server-type-id="com.sun.enterprise.jst.server.sunappsrv91" timestamp="3">

Hope that helps!

This could also be a "tmp1", right? My problem is: How can I create another second server instance, for example "tmp1" in Eclipse? If you also have a quick tip for this, I would be very happy :-) Hi,

you mentioned that the eclipse server workspace directory “tmp0″ may be different.
This could also be a “tmp1″, right?

My problem is: How can I create another second server instance, for example “tmp1″ in Eclipse?
If you also have a quick tip for this, I would be very happy :-)

Only takes a few moments but has saved me from the huge irritation of having things not be deployed properly; changes don't take some times.
