Description gugrim 2006-01-10 18:34:34 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200601052030 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_05 ]

I have registered the server Sun Java System Application Server as a remote server with host
localhost, port 4848. The server registration
looks fine but it doesn't work:

No subnodes are displayed when I expand the server node in the Runtime tab.

When I choose View Server Log, a message box tells me that "/logs/server.log" doesn't exist.
Technically correct but I'd prefer to see the log.

Since I can't be 100% sure that there is nothing
wrong with my server registration, I set the
plugin logging level to FINE but still no error message is shown and nothing is written to the
NetBeans log.

reassigning to appserver module for evaluation
Comment 2 Jan Horvath 2006-01-11 16:49:10 UTC 
Is there any reason to register local appserver as remote?
If you register it as Local Domain, everything works well, so this is not P2.

> Is there any reason to register local appserver as remote?

Yes there is; Since the app server I wanted to register is run as a service I
don't want the Start/Stop/Restart actions to be enabled since they don't work
anyway. I have tried both localhost and the "real" host name for my machine with
the same result.

I wrongly assumed that I that if a remote registration doesn't work on server
running on my host it wouldn't work with another host. I have just tested on an
almost really remote machine (XP running in VMware but that is about as remote
as I can get on a single physical box) and since this works I agree that P3 is
sufficient.

I have rephrased the summary accordingly.

What happen if instead of localhost, you use the fully qualified machine name or
the ip address?
Comment 5 Nitya Doraisamy 2006-01-11 22:59:15 UTC 
This happens even if fully qualified machine name or ip address is used. It
appears that the plugin in this case always returns a empty target list and
hence the runtime tree is not created.

Check for isLocal() in SunDeploymentManager and all it's usages should be
updated to handle scenario wherein a local server is registered as a remote
instance.

this looks like it is related to another bug that I am working on...
