"SetPropertiesRule" warning message when starting Tomcat from Eclipse

The solution to this problem is very simple. Double click on your tomcat server. It will open the server configuration. Under server options check ‘Publish module contents to separate XML files’ checkbox. Restart your server. This time your page will come without any issues.


From Eclipse Newsgroup:

The warning about the source property is new with Tomcat 6.0.16 and may be ignored. WTP adds a "source" attribute to identify which project in the workspace is associated with the context. The fact that the Context object in Tomcat has no corresponding source property doesn't cause any problems.

I realize that this doesn't answer how to get rid of the warning, but I hope it helps.


I am using Eclipse. I have resolved this problem by the following:

  1. Open servers tab.
  2. Double click on the server you are using.
  3. On the server configuration page go to server options page.
  4. Check Serve module without publishing.
  5. Then save the page and configurations.
  6. Restart the server by rebuild all the applications.

You will not get any this kind of error.
