Hi,

I'm building a web application as a demo for all the virgo OSGi bundles and services that I created. I'm having a problem with the web application. I based my code on the virgo splash and admin web bundles.

I have a splash page (working fine with no problems) and within it I have two links: one to the admin console (working fine) and the other to a "demo" link, which points to my 'demo' web application (based on the virgo 'admin' application').

I build a PAR file, which includes those two web apps, in addition to at least 20 other modules. All are working correctly with the following exception:

1. if I include the following in the demo web.xml file, the entire PAR file doesn't deploy:

    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>


Here's the fail message:

[2011-09-01 09:36:40.960] start-signalling-12          <DE0006E> Start failed for bundle 'framework-0.0.1-com.sample.web.demo' version '0.0.1'. org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.deployer.core.DeploymentException: Web application failed to start

2. If I remove or comment the above code from web.xml file, everything loads correctly. I'm able to access the splash page and then when I try to connect to the 'demo' page I get a 404 HTTP Error. I suspect I have incorrect url-mapping for that one.

In the next few posts, I'll attach copies of my current files.

(I'm running virgo 3.0.0.RELEASE)

I"m quite new to Spring MVC so I wouldn't be surprised if I made many mistakes. However, I've been comparing the code and the configuration to those of the virgo splash and admin apps and have not been able to identify the issues.

I would appreciate any assistance on this.

Thanks Smile

Hi,

From the exception above we can see that the application cannot be started.
Can you please check <Virgo-Home>/serviceability/logs and tell us what is the cause for the failure. (exception or something else)

Regards
Violeta

Thanks for your quick response Violeta. In fact, this is part of my frustration, the log files don't have any additional information. The log has exactly the same exception that I attached above.

Thanks.

From my experience - you're not looking back far enough into the log.log file. The lines preceding the error you quoted usually contain the exception that caused deployment failure - probably a class not found (i.e. you're using a class whose package you didn't import through MANIFEST.MF) or some similar error.

My experience has been quite the opposite actually. The log file doesn't provide much help. Most of the error messages are very obscure and this makes debugging much harder than it should be. I was helping a developer the other day with a very generic error message that he spent few days trying to track. The error message was: "Failed to execute goal com.springsource.bundlor:com.springsource.bundlor.maven:1.0.0.RELEASE". Since I came across that previously and I also took me few hours to resolve, I told him to check his template.mf file for any additional trailing spaces or extra lines. It turned out to be exactly that. Now, wouldn't you agree that reporting a more helpful message while parsing the file can be more helpful?

I'm very excited about OSGi technology and I'm having a heck of a time trying to sell it to my development teams, who keep complaining to the executives about how hard it is and that they are spending far more time debugging instead of actually writing code. I'm sorry to say, to a large degree this is true.

pinkfloyd_360,

Can you try to repackage your war with Import-Library for the spring vs. individual packages. If that helps, you can start cutting dependencies from there.

What might be happening - there is a deep dependency from lets say some class used in the <context:component-scan /> xml stanza that is not imported. As an example - you do not have any imports for org.sf.aop - and classes from that package are used a lot internally in spring.
With library you get much more - but you are sure to get everything Smile


Try that. If you are still having issues - ping back and we will examine it further.

Dmitry

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your advice. At this point, I'm not really concerned about optimization so if I can include entire libraries that would be fine for now and later, once I get this prototype working, I can go back and figure out what are the exact dependencies.

I added two libs but I'm still getting errors. Here's an updated copy of my MANIFEST file:

This is another attempt ... I see that this topic has been viewed more than 6,500 times and yet I can't find anybody who has seen this problem before?

Simply stated, the main problem is in this code in web.xml file:

 <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>


If I remove this code or comment it, the file gets deployed with no problem (of course the servlet itself does not work). If the code is present in web.xml, the file cannot be deployed, I get the following error:

I posted all my code. I compared it to the 'admin' web module that's shipped with virgo, as well as with the greenpages.web module. I can't see any difference in the configuration files (web.xml, applicationContext.xml and demo-servlet.xml).

Can I get help with these problem, please.

Thanks.

Sorry for delay in response.

Have you manually upgraded Spring Framework version to 3.0.6.RELEASE (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Virgo/FAQ#How_can_I_change_the_version_of_Spring_framework_in_the_user_region.3F) ? If not, Virgo 3.x ships with 3.0.5.RELEASE. So if you have not upgraded to 3.0.6 change your import version range for spring framework library to 3.0.5.RELEASE.

If you are still having problems and would not mind sharing your source code, I will take a look at it. Github it or just PM/email me (dmitry at dsklyut dot com) with the source archive.

Has the original poster managed to solve this problem? Yesterday I ran into the same thing, so I reconfigured serviceability to tracing, and this is what it says in the logs:

It might not be the same cause as the original, but the setup and symptoms are the same: it's a Spring MVC web bundle, containing all the required manifest headers, and it fails to start without any detailed info. Now, from what can be seen above, some of the log lines I quoted are quite critical, yet they are logged using debug or trace levels. I have yet to confirm the quoted lines indicate all of the problems that prevent my application from starting, but they do indicate some problems so shouldn't they be logged using warn or error log levels?

canobix,

Can you please attach your test war/wab file here - I will try to figure out why it is faling for you?

Regards,
Dmitry

No need, thanks! I managed to resolve all the errors. The example I sent was posted to illustrate how a critical error could be missed if you have the default log level (info). In my case, if I hadn't reconfigured the logging level to trace, it would be very difficult to find out that I was missing an import for org.springframework.web.context.request and conclude that's the reason why the web application is failing to start.
So, as a note to the original poster - change your log level, reserve some patience (trace logs are really long) and you should be able to find the exact cause for your application failing to start.
And a note to the Virgo developers - it looks like log levels for logging some of the errors detected could do with receiving a bit higher severity Very Happy

Hi Dmitry,

I'm very sorry for the late response, I was out on a business trip. I'm still having the same issue since I didn't have much time to investigate further. Let me check with canobix first if I can leverage from his experience since he has been getting the same error. Otherwise, I'll email you the code for further help.

I really appreciate your help on this.

Hi canobix,

Would it be possible if you can post your MANIFEST.MF or template.mf file? I'm already importing org.springframework.web.context.request.

Thanks.

Well I doubt it will help you, my MANIFEST.MF is quite a simple one and doesn't have any additional headers compared to the one you posted. The only difference in the headers is how I spell "Bundle-Classpath" (the "P" is normal, not capital) and that's it, and I really don't think this is the problem.
So I would still suggest you edit your serviceability.xml and raise the log level to TRACE. Then after deploying your bundle, search the logs for the error you quoted and examine the messages that precede it - they should provide you with a hint on what's wrong.

Bundle-Classpath is not a valid OSGi header: http://wiki.osgi.org/wiki/Bundle-ClassPath

It works though - probably the header parsing is not case sensitive.

From my experience - you're not looking back far enough into the log.log file. The lines preceding the error you quoted usually contain the exception that caused deployment failure - probably a class not found (i.e. you're using a class whose package you didn't import through MANIFEST.MF) or some similar error.

Solved my problem to look back in the log .. thanks!
