I am trying to reduce the start up time of my web application deployed in glassfish 3.1.1 (build 12) application server. My web application is deployed as a war file containing multiple jar files for every module in the application. The jar files are located in the WEB-INF\lib directory.
On enabling detailed logs for glassfish, I saw that glassfish tries to search the class files in WEB-INF\classes and does not find it. Since there are more than 16K classes there is an error message for every class file.
|FINE |org.apache.naming_.FileDirContext| 88|PWC4451: File cannot be read E:\glassfish3.1.1\glassfish\domains\domain1\applications\mywebapp\WEB-INF\classes\com.xxx.yyy.MyClass.class
I added a emtpy jar named all-jars.jar in WEB-INF\lib and it contains a MANIFEST.MF file with a classpath attribute. The Class-Path attribute looks as below.
Class-Path: WEB-INF/lib/a.jar WEB-INF/lib/b.jar WEB-INF/lib/c.jar
Adding this jar didn't help though.
How can I tell glassfish to not search in WEB-INF/classes directory? Also any other suggestions to reduce the start up time?

I have deployed a war file through management console of JBOSS EAP to my company server. I lost my source code accidentally deleted. How can i download the file that's now running on the server to my local machine. Please help me
When you have access to JBoss directory and you pack source code into jars so:
You deploy a war file through the management console your archive is saved on path:
JBOSS_HOME/standalone/tmp/vfs/deployment (in case when you are in standalone mode)
There you can see unpacked war file with jars. But java source code is usually converted to bitecode and you can not get code from it. Maybe you compose your jar with source code and you can see source code.
But unfortunately I don't know way how to do it through Management console.
In the management console of JBoss, go to "Deployments", click the applicable deployment, click "View". Then you have the possibility to browse through all files in the war. Downloading the full war means clicking the war, and on the right, click "Download".
(all based on the 3.0.19.Final console version)
I know there are a bunch of posts on this topic, but I can't seem to figure it out. Here is my setup:
- Eclipse Indigo
- Tomcat 6
- Struts WAR file that I imported into Eclipse from http://www.manning.com/dbrown/SampleApplication.zip
I added the server to Eclipse, and added the project to the server. It runs fine, but I'd like to make some changes to the XML and java files (not the jsp files). I was under the impression that Eclipse takes care of the deployment after I save and restart the server, but I guess this isn't the case. I looked into creating an ant file to do a custom build, but I'm not really sure how to make it since I don't even know how to do a deployment "manually". How would I go about doing a manual deployment? Thanks.
A war file is usually created by exporting it from an IDE like eclipse, netbeans, etc.
While generating a war file there is 2 options,
You can include your java files with it
You can avoid java files from it.
In both the cases class files will be there which are created from java files. Class files will be able to take care of the actions of java class.
If the war file which you down loaded is not having those java files, you will not be able to use it with eclipse, where as it will work fine if you are putting it into tomcat directory for running.
For running a war file manually just put it into tomcat webapps folder and run tomcat.
Then you can access the pages using the url.
http://localhost:8080/yourprojectname/
If you want to check whether the war file contains any java files, after starting the tomcat server it will extract the war file into the same directry, where you can search for java files.
If you want to run the project from eclipse,
import it into eclipse, open index.jsp page
right click-> run as-> run on server
if you have not yet configured the server yet,select the server in the list, specify its installation path, then add projects into server in next step, finish it. then it will load your project.
Please provide little more details so that we can help you better.
manual: copy the war in the tomcat folder then start tomcat.
if you want to use eclipse you need to click redeploy war first by right clickling the deployed war in the servers tab under tomcat.
I am tring to configure a dynamic web project using eclipse helos. I use tomcat 6. When I add the libraries to the WebContent/lib it works fine. But I want to a folder called lib in the project's root level(root/lib). When I put my library files to that folder it builds fine. Run fine to the login page. When I try to log in it gives
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/pool/impl/GenericObjectPool"
Please help me with this.
You're creating a web app and deploying it as a WAR file in a Java EE container. That means that your deployment must follow the WAR standards. Put your JARs in WEB-INF/lib. The container will find them there.
Tomcat 6 and 7 have changed things up so JDBC driver JARs need to go in the server /lib directory. The app server expects to find them with its class loader. Try putting the MySQL JDBC connector JAR in /lib and see if that helps.
I'm using Eclipse 3.7 (STS) with Tomcat 7 running inside the IDE. I've created a new Dynamic Web project and added a single JSP file to the web content root folder. I can run Tomcat and access the JSP from within Eclipse with no problems.
I've added a few 3rd party JAR's to the project from User Libraries (I'm not using maven or auto dependecies managment). In the JSP I reference a class from the project's JAR file, I can compile this with no problem, but when I deploy on Tomcat the JSP throws ClassNotFoundException. Clearly, Tomcat can't find the JAR's from my library settings. I tried creating a Run As configuration for Tomcat Server and I set the classpath to match the classpath settings of the project, but I still get the same classnotfound problem.
I could get around the issue by manually copying all project JARs to the WEB-INF/lib directory so the webapp can find all dependencies, but that's absurd and I don't expect that to be the solution since it's a maintenance nightmare.
Am I missing something?
In project's properties, go to Deployment Assembly. Add there the buildpath entries as well which you've manually added as user libraries. It'll end up in /WEB-INF/lib of the deployed WAR.
You'll need to copy the jar files to the WEB-INF/lib folder: that is where they are supposed to be.
Eclipse should offer you the option of generating a WAR file that includes all the dependencies: I haven't used Web Tools for a good while but one way or another all dependencies have to be in WEB-INF/lib or the class loader won't be able to find them.
I've this problem using STS: I'm building a simple Spring app, just to try out features like MVC and persistence. Now I've created something very simple, out of a bunch of tutorials for Spring 3, that I'm using. The application fails with this, during server startup:
Code:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean] for bean with name 'mySessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean
but I've org.springframework.orm in web-inf/classes folder (I even tried putting it in web-inf/lib). As I copied these libs there, the came out in Web App Libraries folder. Building this project in STS works fine as this dependency is set up in build path throught project properties, but how do I transfer the libs to the web app? (I'm using Tomcat 6 as it is the server I'm going to use sometime in the future for production). Is this a config problem of my XML? Or am I just missing the right way to put this lib? (I encountered the same problem before, but adding the needed lib in classes worked it out). More than this I that if I browse inside my workspace to the folder where the working folder of tomcat should be, I can't find any work directory and any commo
Go to the Servers view and double click on Tomcat Server which will open up a Tomcat Overview page. This will show you the server path and deploy path which Eclipse is using to publish your webapps to.
For example, mine are:
Server path: .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0
Deploy path: wtpwebapps
Now in a Command Prompt (or Explorer) browse to %ECLIPSE_HOME%\workspaces\default\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps and you should see your webapp. Go into the WEB-INF\lib directory and check if your jar is there.
A few things to try:
If the jar is not in WEB-INF\lib, you might need to republish it. Right-click on the Tomcat in the Servers view and click Publish. Does it appear? If not, Right-click on the Tomcat again and this time select Clean... which will clean out everything and republish. If this doesn't work, the brute force approach would be to delete the files manually and then tell Eclipse to republish them.
Clean your work directory, by right-clicking the webapp under Tomcat in the Servers view and selecting Clean module work directory. Or do it manually by deleting from %ECLIPSE_HOME%\workspaces\default\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\work\Catalina\localhost
You should also try closing-reopening/cleaning/rebuilding/refreshing your webapp project just in case Eclipse hasn't picked up the changes.
You need to put the various Spring JARs into your WEB-INF/lib directory (WEB-INF/classes is no use for JAR files).
You don't just need org.springframework.orm, you need most of them (see here for dependency diagram).
At least the libary jar files must be located at WEB-INF/lib within your war file. And you only need to deploy the war file to your productiv web server.
If you use STS but your Project is not a Maven project: then you need to put the files in <projectRoot>/WebContent/WEB-INF/libs .(to build the war with Eclipse/STS you need to execute Export/Web/WAR file.)
If you use Maven, then you need the specify your dependencies in the pom.xml, and use maven to package the war (run as/Maven package).
