Strange Petstore Demo Problem - template.jsp or productcateg

[youandwhosearmy]

I am having a puzzling problem with the Petstore Demo on JBoss.

First the specs:
Windows 98
JBoss 2.4.1/Tomcat 3.2.3
Petstore 1.1.2 JBoss Patch

I installed Petstore on JBoss/Tomcat and applied the patch. Everything seemed to work, until I selected a category, and I can see no animals.

Footer and header show up fine. I originally thought that it might be a .jsp problem or a database problem.

However I don't think it is though for the following reasons:

1) The database is populated.
2) I can login and change the default account (using .jsp and the database).
3) I can add new accounts

One thing that would help me immensely (I will post it in a seperate request) is to make sure that I know of all of the possible debugging logs.

In anycase, I have culled the following possibilities from the jboss\log\server.log (doubtful, but there is a note of desperation):

...
[WebService] Starting
[WebServer] Started server: ServerSocket[addr=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0,port=0,localport=8083]
[WebService] Started webserver with address: null port: 8083
...

I was thinking the following might be the problem, yet note the snippet from the Tomcat log (which follows the one below) - these are the only template.jsp + null errors I have, but the Tomcat log snip is from a different time!

[EmbeddedTomcatSX] 2001-12-05 10:06:09 - Ctx( /estore ): IOException in: R( /estore + /template.jsp + null) Connection reset by peer: socket write error

[EmbeddedTomcatSX] 2001-12-05 10:08:43 - Ctx( /estore ): IOException in: R( /estore + /template.jsp + null) Connection reset by peer: socket write error


from the tomcat\log\jasper.log (long) - This is a sample of the output I get from the jasper.log. I thought perhaps the PathInfo being null might be the problem, but as I pointed out earlier, the other .jsp pages are rendering fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I could simply drop this and move on, but I hate leaving it incomplete.

Many thanks,

Hi,

I'm just at the same point you were in late 2001
"strange petstore demo problem"

How did you solve it ?

Thanks in advance

[faisalab]

I run Petstore1.2(useless!) on Jboss and Jsdkee1.3.1 long time ago .Now I am running Petstore1.3.1 on Jboss and MySql.Are u using Jboss or J2sdkee1.3.1? Normally with J2sdkee1.2.1 there is no pb because Tomcat version is still the same .The Problem is with Jboss. Every Tomcat version gives u some sort of erros.If u are using Jboss send me the whole Jboss server.log -hopefully We will find what's wrong

Could you please send me your jboss petstore1.3.1.ear ?

That's ok, i'm only suffering "phantom" problem with jboss
(j2sdk1.3.1 seems to work fine)

>The Problem is with Jboss. Every Tomcat version gives u >some sort of erros.If u are using Jboss send me the >whole Jboss server.log -hopefully We will find what's wrong

Thanks very much for your interest but unfortunately
server.log it's ok (no errors nor warnings)

My problem is exactly the same found in the first message
of this thread:

Has anyone solved such a problem ? how ?

i'm currently using jboss-3.0.1 (with jetty) on linuxRH7.1

Thanks again

I am facing the same problem.
I think the problem is the jsp tags that are used in the productcategory.jsp
the output is failing at the tag
<j2ee:productList numItems="4" category='<%=request.getParameter("category_id")%>'>
in the productcategory.jsp

Let me know how you sorted it out.
thanks in advance.
