X-Application Version: 3.1.3
TaminoVersion :4.1.1,
Platform Solaris 8,
WebContainer : Tomcat 4.1.29
JDK Version : 1.4.1,

I receive an http Status 404 when attempting to access http://localhost:8080/xapp.

I have updated the version of tomcat according to the previous post. http://tamino.forums.softwareag.com/viewtopic.php?p=13883

Any other suggestions on why I’m receiving the 404 error.

Thanks.

Hello,

1) Please try out whether you Tomcat is running in general on port 8080:
- Insert the URL ‘http://localhost:8080’ within your Browser
=> The standard page of Tomcat should be shown.
If this URL fails look into the server.xml file of your Tomcat configuration directory and check which port is used.
Start the Tomcat in a console:
1.1) Change to …/tomcat…/bin
1.2) Invoke “catalina run”
1.3) Check if there is an error message when Tomcat is started


2) If the 1) was successful, look into the directory

.../tomcat-.../webapps

Is there a file called xapp.xml?

If no, an installation step of X-Application failed. There is one step that creates the context files to your Tomcat webapps directory.

If the file exists, please open it with a text editor and check the attribute value ‘docBase’ of the element ‘Context’. Does this path refer to a directory of your X-Application installation?

...xapplication_...\examples\jsp\ROOT

If also the check 2) is ok, I have no other idea what could be wrong with your installation.

Bye,
Christian.

step 1 is succesful. I get the Tomcat main page.
step 2 however: there is no xapp.xml file. Is it possible to perform that one steop of the install, the step that creates the context files to the Tomcat webapps directory?

Thanks

Hello,

there is one command that creates the xml file within your Tomcat home directory. To generate the file:

1) Open a console.
2) Change to the X-Application installation directory
3) invoke ‘build1 setup.tomcat’

Is this step successful and does your webapps directory contain a list of XML files starting with xapp… ?

If not, please post the text of the console output to the community.

Many thanks.

Bye,
Christian.

When I try to execute ‘build1 setup.tomcat’ I get build1:not found. I check the permission on this file and they are “wide open” 777.

I even tried ./build1 setup.tomcat and build setup.tomcat.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

you’ll need to add the extension “.sh”: ‘build1.sh setup.tomcat’.

Bye
Thorsten

yes. I had the .sh extension. When I run build1.sh setup.tomcat I get “build1.sh: not found”.

When I run ‘./build1.sh setup.tomcat’ I get “./build1.sh: CMDLINE=setup.tomcat: is not an identifier”

Thanks

Hi Green,
when you execute the script via ./build1.sh … the standard shell is called. Unfortunately, this seems to be the “normal” shell, the script however needs the “Bourne” shell or “Born again” shell bash. Please try the following:
bash ./build1.sh setup.tomcat

Making progress…when I executed
bash ./build1.sh setup.tomcat I get the following error:

Buildfile:ncconfig/build.xml
init:
BUILD FAILED
file:/opt/xapplication_411/ncconfig/build.xml:75: Please run setup before calling build

Hello,

is it possible with the tip of Gerald to run the setup.sh?

Bye,
Christian.

There is only a setup.cmd and setup.lock. I was told from a previous post that the setup.cmd is for Windows only.

I tried what Gerald suggested
bash ./build1.sh setup.tomcat

and got an error stating
BUILD FAILED
file:/opt/xapplication_411/ncconfig/build.xml:75: Please run setup before calling build

Hello,

excuse my. It was typo. I mean the command

build.sh setup

Bye,
Christian.

Ok…

./build.sh setup ran with the following error:

examples API:

[javac] /opt/xapplication_411/tools/bin/antRun:jikes: not found
BUILD FAILED
file:./misclib.xml:435: Compile failed; see teh compiler error output for details.

The log directory show this same output

Hello,

open the file build.sh with a text editor and adapt the settings for the Java compiler to your environment.

1) Disable the ANT option for the jikes compiler (remove -Dbuild.compiler=jikes)

ANT_OPTS=“-Xms100m -Xmx512m”

2) Check the environment variable for the JAVACMD.

Is the environment variable for your JSDK correct? Look if JAVA_HOME points to an installed JSDK on your machine.

Invoke the setup again.

Bye,
Christian.

ok…the build seemed to work. I got build successful.

Then I launched http://localhost:8080/xapp. and I got the index.html page (X-Application Examples).

However when I click on “Simple” I get a 404 error /xappl.simple/index.html - the requested resource /xapp/simple/index.html) is not available.

Hello,

let’s check your webapps directory of your Tomcat:

I send the former post for the xapp.xml file. This file seams to be ok.

There are other xml files starting with xapp… that define a context for e.g. an example, the generator, a tutorial etc.

One of these files is xappsimple.xml. It defines the context for the simple example. Please, open this file with a text editor and check the attribute ‘docBase’ if the path for this directory is correct. It should point to

<your installation sub-dir> /xapplication_411/examples/jsp/simple

If the directory path is not a valid path, please correct the content of the attribute docBase.

For the next step is open a browser and enter the URL

http://localhost:8080/xapp/simple/index.html

The summary of simple examples should appear.

Bye,
Christian.

In the tomcat/webapps directory there are only 2 xapp* files (xapp.xml and xappdir.xml).

Is this to assume that something was not built correctly during the build?

Hello,

no. That is correct: xappdir.xml maps a context to the installation directory of X-Application (/xapp/dir) while xapp.xml maps a context to the root directory of X-Application’s web directory (/xapp).

Bye,
Christian.

My installation directory of xapplication is /opt/xapplication_411.
I have included the listing for xappdir.xml



<Logger className=‘org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger’ prefix=‘xappdir_log. ‘suffix=’.txt’ timestamp=‘true’/>


And for xapp.xml


<Context path=“/xapp” docBase=“/opt/xapplication_411/examples/jsp/ROOT”">
<Logger className=‘org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger’ prefix=‘xappdir_log. ‘suffix=’.txt’ timestamp=‘true’/>




I simply want to ensure I modify the correct file.

Should both docBase be set to: “/opt/xapplicaton_411” ???

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

these files are correct. I was talking about the file xappsimple.xml

Does this file exist within the Tomcat’s webapps directory?

If yes, check this file.

If it’s not created during the setup step, add this file manually with the following content

<!-- This file was generate by X-Application - do not edit! -->
<Context path="/xapp/simple" docBase=="/opt/xapplication_411/examples/jsp/simple">
<Logger className='org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger' prefix='xappsimple_log.' suffix='.txt' timestamp='true'/></Context>

Bye,
Christian.

This file did not exist in tomcat/webapps. I created the xappsimple in the webapps directly as posted. I stopped and restarted tomcat


I go to http://localhost:8080/xapp/simple/index.html and receive the following:

http status 404 - /xapp/simple/index.html

the requested resource /xapp/simple/index.html) is not available.

Hello,

when you restart Tomcat, there is a console output. These output displays information about the contexts that are loaded.

Could you post this text to the community?


Did you call your file just ‘xappsimle’ or did you call it ‘xappsimle.xml’. The suffix ‘.xml’ is necessary. Otherwise, I am not sure if Tomcat will recognize the file as a context mapping.

Could you post also the file ‘xappsimple.xml’ you created as an attachment to your next post?

I will try to analyze why Tomcat did not accept your simple example.

Bye,
Christian.

I did indeed create xappsimple.xml.

The following is a portion of the log file after tomcat was restarted:

StandardWrapper[examples:default: loading container servlet default
StandardWrapper[examples:invoker: loading container servlet default

**************
Let me know if I should post more…I had to type this in manually, because I’m trying to get xapp to run on a standalone Solaris box

Thanks for the help.

Also the xappsimple.xml file is as follows:

Hello,

The console output indicated a problem when starting the web-application xapp/simple. However, the error message is not very helpful to get more information about the reason for the occurred problem.

Could you check, if there is any log-File that contains a stacktrace or more detailed error message?

Tomcat saves log files normally within the directory.

…\jakarta-tomcat-…\logs

Interesting files are:

localhost_log.<date>.txt
xappsimple_log.<date>.txt

Bye,
Christian.

The xappsimple_log.txt file indeed had errors. The first two lines of the file are as follows:

StandardContext[/xapp/simple]: Resources start failed: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base /opt/xapplication_411/examples/jsp/simple does not exist or is not a readable directory.

I checked the permisions of all the above directories and they all are rwxr-xr-x

I am using Tomcat 4.1.29. I updated the xerces version per a previous post. Do you think this version of Tomcat could still be the problem?

I tried looking on apache’s site for the 4.1.18 version, but can’t seem to locate it. Any ideas of where I can find it. I’ll try going back to that version to see if I have the same problems

Please disregard the last post regarding the 4.1.18 version of tomcat. I located it on the archive page of the jakarta site.

I will install this version and repost my results.

Thanks for the help.

Ok. I installed tomcat 4.1.18, and received similar results.

The first couple lines of the xappsimplelog.date.txt file states
StandardContext[xapp/simple]: Resources start failed
StandardContext[xapp/simple]: Context startup failed due to previous errors
StandardContext[xapp/simple]: Exception during cleanup after start failed.

I did notice is the xapp_log.date.txt and xappdir_log.date.txt files there is an error that states:

ContextConfig[/xapp/dir]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only.

Should web.xml been created with loading xapplication? Or is this the same web.xml file that is often in /tomcat/webapps/webdav/WEB-INF folder?

Hello,

the non-existing web.xml file indicates that the examples were not created correctly.

Please,

(1) open a console
(2) change to your X-Appplication installation directory
(3) invoke ‘build1.sh examples.jsp’ ( !! use the required shell !! when invoking the build1.sh)

and post the output to the community. There must be one step that fails.

Many thanks.

Bye,
Christian.

I built from the bash shell. (bash build1.sh examples.jsp)

Received:

BUILD FAILED
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

I’m wondering is this physical memory? Does some system parm have to be set? This is the first time I’ve seen this error.

I checked the webapps folder. And there are certainly more *.xml files than the previous run.

I can now access http://localhost/tamino/xapp/index.html

Click on Simple. I get the Simple Examples for JSP Tags (I wasn’t getting this at first)

Now when I click on any of the links (ex. Hello, Display, Create). I get 500 error
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: TaminoStoreException.

I’m thinking this is because the build did not complete fully

OK. The TaminoStore Exception Error is Solved (the database wasn’t running).

Now, when I click on the Hello example. I get 500: org.apache.jasper.JasperException:Schema Property not found in collection cmat.

cmat is indeed the name of my collection

Hello,

you can check whether the collection is created or not with the Tamino Tool ‘X-Plorer’.

If it’s not created the install step for creating the example schema / data failed (OutOfMemoryException ?).

What you could do ist to invoke the installation of the schema / data:

(1) Open a console
(2) Change to your X-Appplication installation directory
(3) Invoke ‘build1.sh setup.collection’ ( !! use the required shell !! when invoking the build1.sh)

The normal out should look like this

Buildfile: ncconfig\build.xml

init:

buildLib:

setup.collection:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 46 seconds

Bye,
Christian.

THAT WORKED!!!

Thanks so much. Now i can view all the links on the http://localhost:8080/xapp EXCEPT

for the generator link.

When I click on the Generator Link I get http 404: /xapp/generator/welcome.html

Does this need to be built as well?

Hello,

Congratulations.

There is also a separate build tag for the generator. Use the same steps as for building the schema / data, but invoke:

build1.sh generator

Bye,
Christian.

Ok Thanks. Getting closer.

That build1.sh generator completed successfully. So I attempted to generate a new app.

I went through each step:
Configuration: entered the URL and collection
Define Schema: entered and got a SUCCESS message
Generate: entered schema name, doctype and application directory, and clicked GENERATE

This routed me to http://localhost:8080/xapp/generator/process.html
which just had a blank page.

I went to my tomcat/webapps directory and there was indeed a new directory with the same name as my schema name. That directory had several *.gif files, search.jsp. structure.xml, application.xml, config.xml and a WEB-INF directory which had a jsp sub directory, lib sub dir and web.xml sub

The only file in the jsp directory was xapplication.tld - the tag libs.

Should it have generated something else?

How can I access this application.

Ok. I think its the version of JAVA I’m using, which is 1.4.2_02. Based on this previous post http://tamino.forums.softwareag.com/viewtopic.php?p=14169

I’ll try configuring another JAVA version.

Thanks

It was the JAVA version. I installed JDK 1.4.1_05 and it generated successfully.

Thank you for all the help.
