How to run development mode on a separate web server

[Eric Park]

Hello, I'm running a tomcat web server with spring-framework
installed. How can I run GWT development mode on a separate web
server??. I also followed the instruction from the GWT website but
still could not figure out how. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

Did you follow these instructions? http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCompilingAndDebugging.html#How_do_I_use_my_own_server_in_development_mode_instead_of_GWT's

If you're using the Google Plugin for Eclipse, simply right-click your project → Run As → Web Application (running on an external server).

Or you can edit an existing launch configuration: uncheck "run built-in server" (equivalent to -noserver) in the Server tab, and set the -startupUrl value to your server's address (e.g. http://test-server/myapp/) in the Arguments tab (you can actually even use -startupUrl several times).

You can use myeclipse ide for seperate servers if you want.
