JBoss.net and Cataline

[morphace]

Hi there,

I tried to install JBoss.net with Cataline using the CVS snapshot as of 04/24/2002.

I changed


jboss.web:service=Jetty
axis
java:/jaas/other


to


jboss.web:service=EmbeddedCatalinaSX
axis
java:/jaas/other


which didn't lead to the expected result, that the AxisServlet got deployed.

With Jetty everything works fine, but I have to use Tomcat, because I need a certain compression filter.

I noticed, that there was an attribute "WarDeployerName" earlier which isn't accepted any more?!

Hi too,

the WarDeployerName is no more needed, because AxisService will look for any registered WebApplicationDeployer ... I guess that the way the DeploymentInfo is setup doesn´t suite the way EmbeddedCatalina likes to deploy web applications?

I´ve got that on my tasklist anyway, but if you want to speed up the process, why don´t you debug into
the AxisService.startService method to find out
whether it is finding the right SubDeployer and trace
the setting up of the DeploymentInfo?

Tx too,

Hi,

I went another way: I changed things to work with Jetty ... ;-)

Now I've setup everything to work with my framework and I must say, that JBoss.net is really, really cooooool. Congratulations!

Nevertheless, I noticed a little problem with the "hot" deployment of web services:

I'm deploying the .wsr standalone (not inside an .ear). The first time everything works fine, but further deployments are ignored (nothing happens).

Deleting the .wsr and then copying the new one in the deployment directory leads to an error message, that this service is allready deployed.

I have to restart JBoss and then the deployment succeeds.

Anyway, it's a small problem ...

a good choice ;-)

I will have a look at the hot-deploy stuff first. Catalina will follow before going final, I promise.

I believe the problem with Catalina might be simple (I might be wrong, as I haven't had the time yet to plough through the source...):

1. in the .sar file, the jboss-service.xml descriptor defines the Axis service as depending on Jetty; this would prevent the Axis from automatically starting up since it's looking for a non-existent service.

2. The deployer attempts to deploy the service under the "/&RootContext;/*" context. This is not what Catalina expects. It would probably respond better to a context of the form "/&RootContext;".

As I said, I haven't looked at the source and I could be completely in left field, but it could be worth a try...

Hi robert,

I will try this suggestion out. (First need to get a catalina distro :-)

Christoph,

the problem with catalina still seems to exist with JBOSS 3.0.0

here's the part of the server log:
