WAR Problems with JBoss 7

[markusdöring]

I'm using

JBoss AS 7.0.0.Final "Lightning": Everything (NOT Java EE6 Certified) (will need stuff like JMS later).

Now i try to get a "simple as possible" WAR to running.

If i try the WAR standalong, the deployment seems to work:

17:04:47,940 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-5) Starting deployment of "TestServer-WEB.war"

17:04:47,981 INFO  [org.jboss.web] (MSC service thread 1-5) registering web context: /TestServer-WEB

17:04:47,998 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.controller] (HttpManagementService-threads - 8) Deployed "TestServer-WEB.war"

but accessing http://localhost:8080/TestServer-WEB/faces/hello.xhtml gives me a 404 page not found.

Also i tryied to put it into an "simple as possible EAR.

Here the deployment failes:

17:07:03,159 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-7) Starting deployment of "TestServer.ear"

17:07:03,164 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-7) Starting deployment of "TestServer-WEB.war"

but accessing http://localhost:8080/TestServer/faces/hello.xhtml partly works, it don't give back a 404 but a 500 with the same error message as above in the stack tree.

I'be attached both: WAR and EAR file.

please help.

Added TestSimple.ear with packaged .war inside .ear

[markusdöring]

Finally, i have set up a new WAR and get it working (dont know what was wrong with the first one).

But as soon as it's packaged within an .ear, it failes again:

Any help?

Cant be that hard to get a damn small ear working.

[nickarls]

Are you including Seam3?

(nevermind, didn't see the attachment)

I'll try them out.

No libs at all, just the following files:

TestSimple.ear

---> META-INF

------> application.xml

------> MANIFEST.MF

--->TestSimple-WEB.war

------> test.html

------> test.xhtml

------> META-INF

---------> MANIFEST.MF

------> WEB-INF

---------> web.xml

that's why i say, smallest posible.

Also tried some changes like removing manifest files, adding faces-config.xml, adding dependencies to manifest file, but nothing is working.

[nickarls]

Hmm, strange. I haven't done much EAR:s but tried the most obvious things: adding faces-config.xml to the WAR and dropping the Dependencies in the manifest but still no go, it looks like some JSF bootstrap strangeness. But if it would be completely broken one would think that someone would have noticed it by now!

hi,

it's just because the war inside your ear is not a war archive but just a folder with a .war extension, if you make it a real war archive it should works

Best regards,

Maximilien

[maximilien]

just to save you times, the next problem you should be facing with jsf in jboss 7 is related to https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1283 so don't forget to start the server with -Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.http.ServerCookie.FWD_SLASH_IS_SEPARATOR=false and all should be good ;-)

I'm using a quite complex ear that is now running well on JBoss 7

Thanks so far for the help.

I tried packaging the war inside of the ear.

Now the deployment seems to be OK:

14:32:06,223 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-7) Starting deployment of "TestSimple.ear"

14:32:06,251 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-8) Starting deployment of "TestSimple-WEB.war"

14:32:06,390 INFO  [org.jboss.web] (MSC service thread 1-1) registering web context: /TestSimple

14:32:06,403 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.controller] (HttpManagementService-threads - 2) Deployed "TestSimple.ear"

but now I'm back at the point where I only get 404 and nothing (

http://localhost:8080/TestSimple/faces/test.html

http://localhost:8080/TestSimple/faces/test.xhtml

http://localhost:8080/TestSimple/test.xhtml

http://localhost:8080/TestSimple/test.html

) inside of the WAR can be found.

I have attached the new ear (TestSimple.ear) with packaged war inside.

issues.jboss.org is down atm so can't look into it for now.

I've added the parameter to jboss but (as i expected) nothing changed at all. This seems to be another problem I've not run into yet.

I've a quite big ear running on JBoss 4.2.2 (EJB5) for a few years so I'm not totally new to this stuff, but hanging in the first step of the project for a few days is a bit frustrating.

I'm sure jboss 7 can handle WAR in EAR, I just don't find out what could be wrong in 2 XML files without a single line of code at all.

[jaikiran]

By the way, you might want to try this against latest AS7 nightly binary http://community.jboss.org/thread/167590

[maximilien]

your packaging is still bad, inside your war you have a folder TestSimple-WEB.war_ instead of your files directly

[markusdöring]

Ok, that's it.

Looks like I've messed around some stuff while packaging the .war.

So the solution was to put packaged .WAR in the .EAR and after this it works (if it's done correctly).

Thank for help, i hope i will get a few steps further now.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem while launching the application using jboss7.1

My war file is simple. But still I am not able to launch my application.

Getting the below error

HTTP Status 404 - /sample/

---

type Status report

message /sample/

description The requested resource (/sample/) is not available.

I am attaching war file and standalone file for reference.

Can someone help me with the issue?

Regards,

Madhu

your jboss-web.xml says:

<jboss-web>

    <context-root>/</context-root>

    <virtual-host>Starting</virtual-host>

</jboss-web>

and your virutal host "Starting" is configured. but it is wrongly configured, you canot have two virutal hosts for "localhost"

plus your context is "/" that means it would listen to / and not to /sample

to make it work as you envisionend then remove jboss-web.xml all together.

or remove "localhost" from "default-host" configuration.

after that you will be able to get your application on http://localhost:8080/
