Jrebel Synchronize With Apache Tomcat

Question

Hi this is the Eclipse Console Log, after the JRebel setup has been successfully completed. A change is made in the Java file and Synchronize is clicked.

 Response headers: [Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1, x-rebel-response: ERR_UNKNOWN_REBEL_HASH, x-rebel-responseMessage: Remoting module '5e1de368dea571c9bc1939d90988e22a746772ce' was not found, Content-Length: 0, Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 09:56:42 GMT]

As Stefan mentioned, make sure that the deployed application also has rebel-remote.xml - it should be inside WEB-INF/classes for .war files or root of .jar files. If it does exist, make sure the id-s both in workspace and deployed application are the same. If you have multiple modules, each of them should have unique remote-id.

Another thing is to make sure you'd actually need to use remoting - if you start server from the same machine, you wont, as remoting is meant for cases where the server is on different machine or in a VM. Starting from the same machine, outside from your IDE or not, you only have to make sure that the deployed application has rebel.xmls containing paths to class files compiled by the IDE.
