User development, The document "Use SOA-P with JBoss Tools and Developer Studio", was updated Jan 20, 2010 by Max Andersen. To view the document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12921#cf Document: -------------------------------------------------------------- If you use JBoss Tools 3 beta or JBDS 2 beta SOA-P can be used side-by-side with any existing AS or EAP.   For now there is no automatic configuration of SOA-P out-of-the-box, but that will come in later versions. For now the easiest thing to do is to install SOA-P and then in JBDS find the preinstalled EAP server in the JBoss Server View and double click it to open the server view editor.   http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-12921-2-1040... Once in the server editor update the two fields for Deploy Directory and Temporary Deploy direcotry; it is sufficient to change the prefix used for the SOA-P install since the EAP directory structure resembles SOA-P.   http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/102-12921-2-1041... It is also important to double click the Runtime Environment and set the SOA-P directory here too.   After this when you start and stop the server you will be using SOA-P instead of EAP.   N.B. This will be simpler and more automatic in the GA release !   h2. *Using SOA-P*   When you have the SOA-P server in place you can start working .esb projects very easily.   I've created a small http://screencast.com/t/VfW13GNPwm that shows how it works.   In the screencast I do the following:   1. New Project Example Wizard 2. Selects the Hello World ESB example 3. Waits a few seconds for the download 4. Deploys the .esb 5. Put a breakpoint in the message handler 6. Runs the testclient 7. Sees that the breakpoint gets hit and is debugging away.   See the screencast http://screencast.com/t/VfW13GNPwm --------------------------------------------------------------
