War File URL Virgo vs Jetty [message #783529]

All,

I have an war file that works fine in standalone Jetty but with Virgo/Jetty I get a 404 error. All else being equal.

Is there a difference in URLs between Virgo and Jetty when running a web app?

I load the war file, biostage.war, using the Virgo admin screen. It deploys properly.

In my browser: http://hostname:8080/biostage/ I get a 404 Not Found

Do all this with Jetty sans Virgo and it works.

Thanks

Hi,

Are you using TagLibs at all? If so, I'm afraid they arn't supported on Jetty when running on OSGi yet (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=349009). Could you provide some more details, is there anything in the log files? Also, when you say you have it running on Jetty, is this normal Jetty, if so you could try Jetty on plain OSGi to see if the problem is between OSGi and Jetty or Virgo and Jetty.

Thanks for responding.

"is this normal Jetty"

Yes, this is a B-flat, garden variety Jetty 7. Both Jetty and Virgo/Jetty are on the same machine; different ports.

"Are you using TagLibs at all?"

I am using a framework called Play, which means I am using Play's war file create facility. Play does support it's own tag library, but I would think all that processing happens within the web app and is independent of the OSGi framework.

I might add that I also created a small, ultra simple web app containing a single html page. War it up, deploy it, and it's the same story. It too works on standalone Jetty but not on Virgo/Jetty all else is equal except for the ports.

Hi,

Would you be able to send me the ultra simple web app so I can debug what is going on? If it's so small that it doesn't have a web.xml I believe Jetty on OSGi also has issues with that. If it's OK to send me the app then could you open a bug and attach it. (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi RT -> Virgo).

I have created a bug report as you requested and attached to it a copy of the war file in question.

Attachment #210137 to bug 369843 created.

Hi,

That's great, thank you.
I must confess to not reading the title of this thread properly, while Jetty does support War files when running on OSGi by transforming them in to a WAB (Web Application Bundle), which require a programmatic use of Jetty to do the transform before deploying. Virgo doesn't yet detect that a War file is being deployed and do the transformation in to a WAB as it does for Gemini Web. As such you can only deploy WABs on to Virgo-Jetty. It's still good to have the Bugzilla on the books as it means we will get round to sorting this one out sooner. In the mean time I suggest using Virgo-Tomcat as this supports legacy War files and in

Thank for clearing that up. Looking forward to the fix.

But for now, I would like to try transforming my WAR to a WAB as suggested. Is there any kind of guide as to what I need to do to get a WAB to work on Virgo/Jetty? I've found a few odds and ends on the web but they didn't work.

Thanks
