Hi Sal,
I'm wondering if it is all specific to WSAD of if the reader could be using Eclipse?
Eclipse is very different from WSAD becos Eclipse does not support J2EE and XML Debug perspectives by default.
I have not used those functions in Eclipse, so I dont know whether there are any plug-ins for these modules. But WSAD basically supports all kinds of applications, like
Java standalone,
Applet, J2EE, XML, etc.
In addition, it contains an Express Server that we can test applications developed under WSAD before we really deploy them into WS server. However, Eclipse does not support this feature.
In general, I think there are many white papers, articles, and redbooks talk about the admin & configuration of WS. That's why Kyle releases a new kind of book that talks about how we develop and deploy J2EE applications under WS via WSAD.
