FileNotFoundException for carnot.properties during server startup on Tomcat [message #757512]

Hi,

I've created a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse for Stardust (Rapid Application Development, RAD). When I deploy this project onto a local Tomcat instance (also in Eclipse) I get the following error message during server start in the console output:

Any ideas?

By default, the Stardust engine searches for the file "carnot.properties" on the classpath and the error message tells you that it could not be found.

This file can be put on the server's classpath outside of your web application or packaged within the WAR/EAR, for example in WEB-INF/classes.

In this case, since a RAD project in Eclipse is being used, this file is normally located in <project-root>/ipp-resources/carnot.properties and should be published to the server as part of the Eclipse WTP deployment mechanism.

Please check in the Eclipse menu under Project > Build Automatically whether this options is enabled.

Another cause for this problem could be that you have build errors in your project. Check the Problems View in Eclipse!

Both of the above scenarios would prevent the files from the source folder "ipp-resources" to be copied to the project's output folder (typically <project-root>/build/classes) and therefore they are missed as part of the deployment to the server.

Not sure if you have already resolved this problem but if not I have a suggestion to help. While the other post describes the technical reasons for the error message and how to work around the problem to fix it I would suggest looking at the project facets. I have seen this problem several times in the past week when a new dynamic web project was created, a new model was created, but the Infinity Portal facets were never configured for the project. Without those facets you will most likely not see the ipp-* directories in the project explorer and you will not have the carnot.properties file in the project. Hope that helps.
