"entry point does not exist" after adding plugins? [message #116228] Fri, 19 December 2008 09:06 Go to next message

Folks;

not sure what exactly is my problem here; I followed [1] to pack up a basic
RAP application into a .war file and deploy this to our GFv3prelude
application server which works pretty fine after coming across some basic
issues. Getting more curageous however, I tried to build a RAP application
being a SOAP client to some backend system. So, basically, all I did was

- looking up the required bundles (axis, javax.xml and friends) in the stock
eclipse plugins/ folder and copying them over to my RAP target platform,

- reloading the target platform and making these plugins known to the IDE,

- building a web service client and implementation, running it locally using
jetty in the IDE,

- followed [1], added the required features, built and deployed my .war file
to just end up with


"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: An entry point named 'default' does not
exist."


Well. Running the same application inside jetty in the IDE works flawlessly.
As far as I could tell, all the required packages and configuration files
are contained in the .war file, and, worse, I don't see no log output
whatsoever on the server machine. Seems the OSGi Console is unusable on the
server (Solaris) as well as, though it does dump an "osgi>" prompt to the
log file, I can't (obviously...) do any input to there which comes as no
surprise somehow. So to ask:

- Is there a sane way how to figure out whether packages are missing in a
configuration according to [1]?

- Can I make my application logging output, being deployed to a server, a
little more verbose?

- Any quick guesses where to look in this case? Is this a "common mistake"?

Thanks in advance and all the best,
Kristian

Kristian,

first thing to do would be consult the OSGi log and the console. If
you cannot gain access to this in your current environment, try
something simpler, e.g. a tomcat running locally.

Hi Rüdiger;

and first off, thanks a bunch for your comment on that.

Same thing, unfortunately. Running this in a local tomcat (Linux based, on
my development notebook) ends in the same outcome - the exception
complaining about missing entry point dumped to the tomcat log file, and
just an "osgi>" prompt which one can't interact with. I am not sure whether
the "-console" OSGi option really works on a Linux platform, after all?

Cheers & thanks again,
Kristian

Answering myself, at the very least I got this fixed and posted the answer
here [1] as this seems a question arising once in a while yet not having a
documented answer out there... Now to see why this bundle isn't correctly
started...

Cheers & thanks,
Kristian

Hi Kristian,

an alternative would be to specify a port after the -console parameter
and use connect to it using Telnet.

Regards,
Stefan.
