Deployment step of testing an app or web service

Question

We're running into a snag, and after much rveiew of the docs, the forum and google, I thought I better give the community a chance to address my snag head-on:
Upper mgmt has asked that we switch JDev 11g from going to Weblogic to Tomcat6 when in testing mode. I find plenty that speaks to end-phase deployment, but nothing that says how to move midstream deployment (during dev/testing) to use a different app server, and our need is for Tomcat6.
On another thread (Re: jdeveloper 11g and Apache tomcat 6.0.x it seemed that I had some useful info for deployment of a finished app, but could not tell if this was also needed (or needed at all with 11g) for testing.
Help!

Answer 1

The basics of using another server instead of the integrated WLS are:
Set up a connection to Tomcat from inside JDeveloper - you can then use this connection to package and deploy your application.
Alternatively you can use Ant scripts in JDeveloper to do the deploy for you.
You can set up remote debugging for your project and debug the code while it is running on the Tomcat server.
