In Scala an "object" declared at top level is a singleton. The use of an object is also why you got two class files. One holds the definition of the class to which the singleton belongs and the other holds the (lazily instantiated) static reference. If you rewrote your code as "class MyServlet extends HttpServlet..." you'd only get one class file, MyServlet.class, and the solution would be that much more indistinguishable from Java.

Your Oracle support contact should be able to provide an updated jar which fixes this issue. We have unconfirmed reports that this will be fixed in 10.3 MP1.

Chapter 6.6 of the ZXTM 5.1 User Manual describes how to configure an alternative address (i.e. localhost) for front-end ping tests, and how to add a dummy (unused) pool containing localhost so that the back-end ping tests do not fail completely.

Adding a rule to remove the 'Accept-Encoding' is still recommended to remove the needless overhead of compressing and decompressing the response between the webserver and ZXTM, but it's no longer necessary to do this.

ZXTM itself would need to be changed in order to allow other users to use the plugin, so the only way is to use an Admin user for now. We are currently looking into adding SOAP specific permissions. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful! http://knowledgehub.zeus.com/articles/2009/03/23/installing_the_zxtm_eclipse_plug_in#c332 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 08:01:38 +0000 c331@http://knowledgehub.zeus.com WilliamK Great work and I'm very interested. Yet I can't get it to work after installed. The plugin keeps reporting on login failure even on correct username/password. We use an account not in the admin group, but having the right to edit rules. Maybe that's the cause? If yes is there anything we can work around this?

This user has to be a member of the Admin group. http://knowledgehub.zeus.com/articles/2009/03/23/installing_the_zxtm_eclipse_plug_in#c329 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:56:51 +0000 c328@http://knowledgehub.zeus.com SteveF Is there any was to use a different account i nthe plugin other than the admin?

I've updated the plug-in so that it now escapes colons with '!c'. This should keep NTFS happy. You can get the fix by telling Eclipse to update itself (from the menu go Help -> Software Updates... then click the 'Update...' button). Hope that helps.

Maybe a little bug : I could not import rules with specific characters onto my developement workstation (Windows XP). Rule name is something like "my_rule (VS:my_virtualserver)". Seems that hurts NTFS file naming convention. JF Maybe a little bug : I could not import rules with specific characters onto my developement workstation (Windows XP).
