Deploying a Struts 2 Project to JBOSS 7
I am facing a problem while deploying my web app in Jboss 7.1.1 final. when deploying, it gives me many warnings as shown below -
12:41:29,961 INFO [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] (MSC service thread 1-6) Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in 132 ms

But eventually the war was deployed and I was able to open the URL in Jboss 7.1.1 final. but when i try to login to the app it gives me the following error.

Another piece of code for the authorization function ->

emp.setSignum(signum);
emp.setName("System Administrator");
emp.setRoles(Role.LnCD_ADMIN);
emp.setRoles(Role.LnCD_DELEGATE);
emp.setRoles(Role.SYS_ADMIN);
}
return emp;
}catch(BusinessException e){
throw new BusinessException(e.getMessage());
}catch(Exception e){
throw new BusinessException(e.getMessage());

According to your console output, which has to do with the jboss file server.log
that is in your deploy folder, you got java.lang.NullPointerException
in the method login
AuthorizationAction
. And the exception happened right in the statement
emp = employeeServiceImpl.authorize(userName);
It employeeServiceImpl
is there null
. If it isn't null
, then we saw it "Hi Tapo..."
in the magazines. Nothing of the sort happened.
Then it employeeServiceImpl
is a property that is initialized through the Spring application context. Not even you posted aplicationContext.xml
here, I assume there is a bean definition in it. It should then be entered, again, assume it works too, since you said it works well on Tomcat server.
Hence, this can only happen if the bean creation fails. This is exactly the case when NullPointerException
you shouldn't prevent.
At this point, we only know that the employeeService
bean failed. We have no sources. You haven't posted it. We then needed additional log file exceptions to find the reason the bean was not created. Did not work out.
So the only way to find the deployment of a working application in Tomcat 7 on JBoss 7. And what happened, some frameworks behave a little differently as expected. And they started downloading additional libraries that are not used by Tomcat. This is because JBoss features are not available in Tomcat. Finally, I found that my resources stopped loading because JBoss is returning URLs with the protocol vsf
. Even my application understands the protocol vsfzip
, I need to add this protocol for it to work.
