[Roller-JIRA] Created: (ROL-1467) Roller web app won't start on
Websphere 5.1
Roller web app won't start on Websphere 5.1
-------------------------------------------
Key: ROL-1467
URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/roller/browse/ROL-1467
Project: Roller
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Installation
Affects Versions: 3.1
Environment: WebSphere Platform 5.1 [BASE 5.1.0.0 b0344.02] [ND 5.1.0.0 b0344.02]
Reporter: Andy Stevens
Assignee: Roller Unassigned
I downloaded the Roller 3.1 binaries zip, and the extra jars from the dev.java.net site. Because Websphere is only Servlet 2.3, I edited the web.xml (added the appropriate DOCTYPE, removed the namespace from the webapp element, removed the dispatcher elements from the filter mappings so that the file validates okay and uncommented the mail session resource ref). Following the instructions in the installation guide, I've created a roller-custom.properties (with appropriate hibernate.dialect, uploads.dir and search.index.dir) in WEB-INF/classes and used "jar cvf" to create a .war file. I set up a MySQL database and created server resources for the datasource and mail session ("Test Connection" succeeds for the datasource).
I've installed the war file as an application in Websphere 5.1, mapped the resources to the references, chose the appropriate server & virtual host mappings, saved, synchronised the nodes and restarted the server. However, during startup the roller application refuses to start, producing the messages:
ApplicationMg A WSVR0200I: Starting application: roller
WebContainer A SRVE0169I: Loading Web Module: Roller Weblogger.
WebGroup E SRVE0054E: An error occurred while loading Web application
DeployedAppli W WSVR0206E: Module, roller.war, of application, roller.ear/deployments/roller, failed to start
ApplicationMg W WSVR0101W: An error occurred starting, roller
ApplicationMg A WSVR0217I: Stopping application: roller
ApplicationMg A WSVR0220I: Application stopped: roller
So I tried installing the app into Tomcat (5.5.17, bundled with Netbeans 5.5) instead, and it started up just fine.
Searching the web, I found some articles Jeff Chilton wrote (http://www.zatz.com/authors/authorpages/jeffchilton.html) about his problems installing an earlier version of Roller into WSAD 5.1.2.1 (this was back in Nov '04). His symptoms seemed to be the same (i.e. the above messages), so guided by his investigations I tried removing the roller-web.jar from WEB-INF/lib. The application did then succeed in starting, though it complained loudly about all the missing servlets etc. But the last line it outputs is
ApplicationMg A WSVR0221I: Application started: roller
which at least appears to rule out a problem with the deployment descriptor.
I tried commenting out the various parts of the deployment descriptor (servlets & mappings, filters & mappings, listeners), but it still wouldn't start. The only thing that lets it start up is removing that jar file.
Any ideas what else I can do to get it running, or where I should start looking in the code to try & figure it out?
