IllegalStateException: No org.apache.InstanceManager set in

[cchene]

Hello

I have been trying to deploy an existing webapp (Servlet 2.3 / JSP 1.2) in JBoss 5.1.0-GA.

Everything works well except the webapp undeployment that raises the following exception :

2009-09-11 14:44:20,125 INFO [org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment] (HDScanner) undeploy, ctxPath=/MyWebApp

I tried the same webapp with different servers :
- JBoss 5.0.0-GA : I get the same exception
- JBoss 4.2.3-GA : no exception
- Tomcat 6.0.20 : no exception

I understand that the problem comes from a JSP, but can anybody tell me the meaning of this kind of error "No org.apache.InstanceManager set in ServletContext"?
Could this be related to the redesign of Jasper (http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossweb/freezone/docs/latest/jasper-howto.html#Introduction) ?

That is weird...
You make a small war file to reproduce the problem?

[cchene]

Sorry for the delayed response but I was busy on something else...

For information, here's the situation :
- my Webapp consists of several JSPs and a unique Servlet,
- the problem appears when one JSP has been accessed and the webapp is undeployed (accessing or not to the Servlet do not change this behaviour),
- the problem does not appear when I remove the Servlet declaration from the webapp descriptor file web.xml.

My analysis is : the deployment of my Servlet causes some interference with the "JSP management system" of JBoss (deployment, compiling, undeployment, etc)

The Servlet is quite complex so I will need a lot of time to dig in and find the cause of the problem. For now, I have no time for reproducing the problem with a small war, so I'll keep JBoss 4.2.3.

I was asking this question just in case somebody had an idea.

Thanks anyway for the answer !

[hallmit]

did you not accidentally removed the attributes of ServletContext?

it may be that JBoss uses a particular attribute named 'org.apache.InstanceManager' when will destroy the JSP...

good luck!

This is exactly what was done : everything works great now.

Thanks !
