Question : Eclipse and Oracle Server

I installed OracleXE on a WindowsXP computer, together with Eclipse.

I have connected Eclipse to the Oracle and saved my project as a dynamic Web Project

I want to run the project locally and so clicked on Debug.

However the Console just says "Enter Password:" continously and then eventually times out.

Answer : Eclipse and Oracle Server

I would have expected Eclipse to start OC4J with the right host/port combination, so try to start back at the beginning using the original link I posted by deleting the OC4J server instance and following these steps again.

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/OracleServerAdapter/OracleServerAdapter.html

I would focus in on setting of:
JAVA_HOME: Directory where J2SE was installed
ORACLE_HOME: Directory where oc4j_extended_101300.zip was extracted.

Hope that helps.
