Hi, after receiving a bug to switch biomaj-watcher to Tomcat8, I made the required updates, but my webapp has deployment error on Tomcat 8. I ask here for help to ease the switch to v8 (from v6).
I define a context xml with a docBase. I do not understand why it fails now.... any help would be appriciated to help package kept in Jessie. My context XML is like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Context path="/BmajWatcher" docBase="/usr/share/java/webapps/biomaj-watcher" reloadable="false" > <Parameter name="ADMIN_LOGIN" value="admin" override="false"/> ...... (only other parameters) Here is Catalina log: 15-Dec-2014 09:46:54.081 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/BmajWatcher]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:154) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:724) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:700) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:714) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:581) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig$DeployDescriptor.run(HostConfig.java:1685) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanner.process(StandardJarScanner.java:291) at org.apache.tomcat.util.scan.StandardJarScanner.scan(StandardJarScanner.java:158) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.processJarsForWebFragments(ContextConfig.java:1855) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.webConfig(ContextConfig.java:1119) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.configureStart(ContextConfig.java:771) at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.lifecycleEvent(ContextConfig.java:305) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:117) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleBase.java:90) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal(StandardContext.java:5120) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:150) ... 10 more 15-Dec-2014 09:46:54.092 SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor Erreur lors du déploiement du descripteur de configuration /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/BmajWatcher.xml java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/BmajWatcher]] at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:727) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:700) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:714) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor(HostConfig.java:581) at org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig$DeployDescriptor.run(HostConfig.java:1685) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:262) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) 15-Dec-2014 09:46:54.093 INFO [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployDescriptor Deployment of configuration descriptor /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/BmajWatcher.xml has finished in 613 ms
