"RDS Connection" - Also unable to connect to remote RDS server using the plug-in in Eclipse.  RDS works great in Dreamweaver and ReportBuilder, but not in Eclipse.   

Keeps saying "Cannot Connect".

We have downloaded a fresh copy of Eclipse and tried that on another machine and the same error.  We are starting to suspect the Adobe plugin.  Has anyone else had these issues?  Is there a known fix?

I don't have this working either and have tried Europa and Ganymede. Dreamweaver (CS3) works fine. So, I started doing some packet sniffing and it appears to be a combination of security at the server and the info being sent from the client. Here's what happens (1st DW, 2nd Eclipse):

Another packet is received with this text:

5:4:-50037:ColdFusion Server Version: 8, 0, 0, 037:ColdFusion Client Version: 7, 0, 0, 01:11:1

but, by then it's too late on the client (eclipse) side. I think it's either an issue with how the chunked encoding is being processed, or perhaps that the Adobe plugin doesn't know what to do with the compressed ('flated) http response.

I guess I'll try turning off compression at the server and see what happens....

Guess what? Dumping compression worked!

From IIS Manager:

  1. right-click "Web Sites" folder
  2. click "Properties"
  3. click on the "Service" tab
  4. uncheck "Compress application files" (the second option "Compress static files" can remain checked)
  5. click "OK"
  6. Restart IIS (don't skip this step!)

Voila! Connected instantly!

Soooo, Adobe how 'bout fixing the plugin to understand the 'flate content-encoding?

I hope you've resolved your problem by now but, in case other people are having similar issues, here's an article that might help...

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-cfeclipse/

Your RDS Configuraton settings will depend on how you're running ColdFusion.  If it's on IIS, then the port number has to match whatever IIS is listening on.  If it's standalone, rumor has it that the port needs to be 8500 (I'm not sure 'cause I'm using IIS.)  Make sure RDS is configured on the web server and that the RDS credendialts are set in the Eclipse RDS Configuration dialogue.

One other thing:  if you're running IIS, make sure that the virtual directory where ColdFusion Administrator is running from (usually CFIDE) does not require Integrated Windows Authentication (check "Directory Security" in the IIS Management Console plugin).

I suggest you uninstall, then re-install the Coldfusion extensions for Eclipse. First, download the ColdFusion 8 Extensions for Eclipse.

Refer to the page Installing ColdFusion Extensions for Eclipse. Follow the steps on how to uninstall.

Then follow the steps on how to install the ColdFusion Extensions for Eclipse. After restarting Eclipse, navigate to Window => Show View => Other => Coldfusion and select, for example, RDS Dataview.

I am having a similar problem. RDS through Eclipse worked for me at one point but after creating additional sites in IIS it stopped working but it continues to work through Dreamweaver. I have removed the additional sites, re-installed IIS, CF8, elcipse and the extension and it still can not connect.
