Deploy WAR File to Virgo via Eclipse or STS [message #646569]

Hi All,

Wondering if there is something special I need to do in order to get a legacy web application deployed to my Virgo Web Server through STS/Eclipse?

I have a WAR-packaged web application that I can successfully deploy by dropping into the <virgo-install>/pickup directory.

If I attempt to deploy this project to the Virgo Web Server configured w/in STS (v.2.5.1) , however, I get dependency resolution errors.

Doesn't seem like I should have to modify the project w/in STS, but I've tried a number of different settings combinations I can't seem to get it right.

Virgo does seem to notice edits to the MANIFEST.MF file, which leads me to believe I may need to modify the project to get this deploying correctly from w/in STS.

Guidance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
-jmh

You shouldn't need to make changes to get the project deploying from STS. Perhaps if you chase one of the unresolved dependencies you'll get more of a clue as to what is going on. For example, perhaps STS is automatically generating the manifest and adding dependencies that were not visible in the original manifest.

Thanks Glyn.

I did, and it turns out my WEB-INF/lib directory is missing three jar files that are expressed correctly in my Maven dependencies.

They show up in my command line build or if I run a 'maven package' goal from STS. They're strangely absent in the project deployed to my embedded Virgo Web Server, however.

One of them is my OpenJPA jar file, which is what I'm getting complaints about when I startup the embedded server.

I made a more detailed post here...

So this looks like a tooling issue. If you can reproduce the behaviour with a simple project, perhaps you could raise a bugzilla. Please note we are in the process of donating the Virgo tooling to Eclipse, so I don't expect anyone will be able to work on the bugzilla for a while as the donation is the priority.

(BTW I didn't understand "EclipseRT Virgo Server - OSGi Bundle 1.0" in the other post since Virgo first shipped at version 2.1.0.RELEASE.)

Thanks Glyn. When I mentioned Eclipse OSGi Bundle v1.0 I was referring to the Project Facet under Eclipse RT Virgo Server called 'EclipseRT OSGi Bundle' which is v1.0.

I am running Virgo Web Server v2.1 as you mention.

For others that might happen upon this thread, I've just filed a bug against the Virgo Project for this issue.

Thanks!

Thanks for the clarification. I've asked Chris to take a look at your bug in case there is a simple workaround he's aware of. But, failing that, it will go into the backlog for fixing after the tools are donated to Eclipse.
