Jar issue while deploying a war - eclipse

Question

well I have an application which I am building using Maven and running on eclipse(tomcat runtime) , it is working fine. But when I deploy the WAR of the project on tomcat (not using eclipse), its failing. The error is due to a coustome jar which I have included.

Answer 1

Run
mvn clean install
and your code again

Answer 2

sounds like you have a corrupted jar. Have you tried removing it from your local repository (~/.m2/repository) and
mvn clean package
again ? eclipse might not share the same repository that the one you use to build the war in command line.

Answer 3

I still have an issue , even after running all the above commands. As of now I have found an workaround where in I am deleting that JAR file from the Target deployed on the server and then again copying it. I think so manually copping the JAR solves the issue.

Answer 4

Check the generated manifest file in META-INF folder,
make sure that 'header : value' are in the same line.

Answer 5

I had the same issue and it was caused by encoding problems during the transfer of the war file from a Windows to a Unix system.
For this task I used WinSCP with the "Standard" file transfer option. As soon as I switched to the "Binary" format it worked and the war could be read by the application server.
