Integrating TomCat 4.0.1 with Jboss 2.4.4

[sunnykhosa]

Hi,
I am trying to run the Jboss-Tomcat with run_with_catalina.bat. It starts fines, but when i try to access the http://localhost:8080 it thorws an error. The error message is:

[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI
[ERROR,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] HttpProcessor[8080][4] process.invoke
java.lang.NullPointerException

Does anyone know whats wrong with what i am doing? I have set all teh required environment variables and they seem to be fine as Catalina does get started fine when i start JBoss. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sumeer.

Hi,

If you are placing your web application archive (war, ear, jar) in the deploy folder of jboss, Jboss assigns a context path for your application

When you start jboss you will see the lines:

[INFO,J2eeDeployer] inflate and install WEB module mvc.war
[INFO,ContainerFactory] Deploying:file:/D:/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/mvc.war
[INFO,ContainerFactory] Deployed application: file:/D:/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/mvc.war
[INFO,J2eeDeployer] Starting module mvc.war
[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] deploy, ctxPath=/mvc, warUrl=file:/D:/jboss/tmp/deploy/Default/mvc.
war/web1003/

To access the web application, add the ctxPath value (last line above) to the usual URL. For this example, the base url is:

http://localhost:8080/mvc/

hope this helps,

jack

Hi,

I tried deploying the .war file, which in my case is called sampleTest.war. The message JBoss gives is:

[INFO,AutoDeployer] Auto deploy of file:/D:/JBTomcat/jboss/deploy/sampleTest.war
[INFO,J2eeDeployer] Deploy J2EE application: file:/D:/JBTomcat/jboss/deploy/sampleTest.war
[INFO,J2eeDeployer] Create application sampleTest.war

[INFO,EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX] jsp: init
[INFO,J2eeDeployer] J2EE application: file:/D:/JBTomcat/jboss/deploy/sampleTest.war is deployed.

Finally i tried accessing the servlet as:
http://localhost:8080/sampleTest
but this take me to the directory listings of ApacheTomcat. Am still puzzled with the way it works. Any corrections i need to do?

Thanks
Sumeer.

Thanks for all the help guys. I figured out the solution. It was due one stupid mistake on my side. INstead of accessing as "http://localhost:8080/sampleTest/servlet/sampletest" i was accessing it as "http://localhost:8080/sampleTest/servlets/sampleTest"..:-). It works great now.

Thanks
Sumeer.
