JBPM, Tomcat6 and Postgres8.2 issue

[gosub33]

Heya, have a specific issue I cant seem to solve and looking for some help.

I am deploying JBPM to Tomcat6 with a Postgres database.
(My configuration follows)
When I launch I am getting a specific error:

SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Mar 7, 2008 10:10:17 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/web-console] startup failed due to previous errors

HERE IS THE WHOLE OUTPUT WHEN I START TOMCAT6

My war file contains:

Standard console dirs:
/images
/META-INF
/sa
/ua
/WEB-INF
/index.jsp

Here are the jar files I have in the WAR:

\Tomcat6\webapps\web-console\WEB-INF\lib:
antlr-2.7.6.jar
asm-attrs.jar
asm.jar
cglib.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-fileupload.jar
commons-io.jar
commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
ehcache-1.1.jar
el-api.jar
el-ri.jar
gravel-14.jar
hibernate3.jar
javassist.jar
jboss-retro-1.1.0-rt.jar
jbpm-identity.jar
jbpm-jpdl.jar
jbpm4jsf-14.jar
jsf-api-14.jar
jsf-facelets.jar
jsf-impl-14.jar
jta.jar
log4j-1.2.11.jar

Here is my Hibernate config (note we are NOT using DATASOURCE);
hibernate.cfg.xml

<!-- hibernate dialect -->
org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect

<!-- JDBC connection properties (begin) -->
org.postgresql.Driver
jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/JbpmDB
postgres
xxxxxxxx
<!-- JDBC connection properties (end) -->

org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider

<!-- DataSource properties (begin)
java:/JbpmDS
DataSource properties (end) -->

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance -

Someone pointed out that I didnt have the Postgres driver in the war. I have added it, but get the same issue...

'the same issue'

What issue? That the war did not start up correctly? There is way to little info in this to help you. Please provide more *detailed* error info. (notice the emphasis on detailed, not more)

As Ronald already pointed out, without detailed information it's almost impossible to give proper advice. If you're experiencing problems, these are usually reflected in the logs, so it's always a good idea to have a look into these and report any exceptions you can find there.

Right now, I would however point you to the wiki http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JbpmOnTomcat and verify if what you have done somehow matches the steps reported there.

Also, here are the contents of my jbpm-console.war I've deployed to Tomcat 6.0.10 for you to check as well (I've manually copied jbpm-j2ee.jar and commons-collections.jar after the ant run):

[mputz@mputz webapps]$ tree ./jbpm-console/

| | |-- jsf-facelets.jar
| | `-- jsf-impl-14.jar

I wouldn't put the db driver lib in the war, but rather in $tomcat/lib.

Hope this helps.

First off, thanks to both of you for replying.

The heart of the matter was that I could not get anymore information than what I posted. I included the log output from Tomcat and that was pretty much all I had to go on.

We eventually figured out that our war file was invalid, so the JVM wasn't even starting. Once we rebuilt the war file, Tomcat started up right away.

Thanks again.
