Hi,

I have recently posted this on the dev list and it was suggested I seek some
ideas here.

Regards,

Hi,

I am using the generic server framework and have run into a problem starting
a server as specified in its serverdef. (The server is Tomcat with Axis and
ActiveBPEL deployed).

The server remains in state 'Starting...' and never enters state 'Started'.
The server's log file looks fine, the last line indicates that it has
started a BPEL engine (as it should do). The server is up and running and
you can access the installed web apps, but its state remains in
'Starting...'.

Here's the launch snippet from its serverdef:

<start>
<mainClass>org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap</mainClass >
<workingDirectory>${tomcat.home}</workingDirectory>
<programArguments>start</programArguments>
<vmParameters>-Dcatalina.base="${tomcat.home}"
-Dcatalina.home="${tomcat.home}" -Djava.io.tmpdir="${tomcat.home}/temp"
-Djava.endorsed.dirs="${tomcat.home}\common\endorsed"</vmParameters >
<classpathReference>tomcat</classpathReference>
</start>

I have tried to do some debugging, but was only able to find out that the
code doesn't even get to PingThread (listenting for startup).

Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

Thanks,

-- Bruno

So you can "telnet localhost 8080" and issue a "GET / HTTP/1.0", return,
return, and get a response ?

I think the Ping function of ECLIPSE server tools, does exactly this, as
opposed to an ICMP ping (which wouldn't tell Eclipse anything useful
anyway).

Can you temporarily disable the firewall to prove the point that it
would make no difference to the problem.

I'm not entirely sure what events have to occur for the server tooling
to change the runtime state from "Starting" to "Running/Debugging".

Hi,

Disabling the firewall had no effect at all :( Debugging it for hours on end
didn't get me anywhere. A workaround for the time being would be to
configure initialState="started" and have user start server manually - this
allows publishing from within Eclipse. But of course, that's just a dirty
fix.

If anyone has come across a similar problem or has any (any!) ideas for
tackling this, please don't be shy as I am close to despair...
