Hi,
I am using Liferay with Tomcat 6.0 distribution and am having some
issues with deploying a portlet. I believe the issue is related to how
Tomcat starts up so am hoping someone on this list can help.
I created a Maven archetype based on one of our Liferay projects that
uses IceFaces. I created a basic project from the archetype in Eclipse
(3.5 with m2eclipse). I started up the Liferay/Tomcat server via Eclipse
(liferay-portal-5.2.3-tomcat-6.0), copied the war file to the deploy
directory and it deploys fine and I can add the portlet to my Liferay
page.
However, if I start up Tomcat via the startup.bat script and deploy the
war, things go wrong. Either it doesn't deploy the portlet because of
errors (see below) or it deploys it and then immediately undeploys
(unregisters) it.
We tried deploying a portlet built using the same archetype in NetBeans
and starting the server via NetBeans and got the same problems. We tried
deploying the war built in Eclipse in the server started by NetBeans and
got the same problems.
So, we're thinking there's something off with the war file but Eclipse
does some magic when it starts up Liferay/Tomcat that allow this portlet
to be deployed anyway.
In Eclipse, the run configuration is set up as:
Program arguments:
run
VM arguments:
-Dcatalina.base="C:\Program
Files\liferay-portal-5.2.3-tomcat-6.0\tomcat-6.0.18"
-Dcatalina.home="C:\Program
Files\liferay-portal-5.2.3-tomcat-6.0\tomcat-6.0.18"
-Dwtp.deploy="C:\Program
Files\liferay-portal-5.2.3-tomcat-6.0\tomcat-6.0.18\webapps"
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\Program
Files\liferay-portal-5.2.3-tomcat-6.0\tomcat-6.0.18\endorsed"
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\Program
Files\liferay-portal-5.2.3-tomcat-6.0\tomcat-6.0.18\temp"
No environment variables have been set and everything else is default.
Does anyone know what magic Eclipse may be performing on Tomcat startup
and/or what the config issue with the war could be?
Thanks in advance for any help/direction.
