Error: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file
Hello,
I'm running the following version of tomcat:
Server version: Apache Tomcat/6.0-snapshot
Server built: Nov 15 2009 11:02:53
Server number: 6.0.0.0
OS Name: Linux
OS Version: 2.6.24-9-pve
Architecture: i386
JVM Version: 1.6.0_12-b04
JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
And i have a shared mount between 4 tomcat servers. All of them run the same OS and tomcat version.
For some reason, one of the tomcat servers stopped working and i can't start it anymore. At catalina.out, i get this error:
INFO: Deploying web application archive Box.war
mmap failed for CEN and END part of zip file
Jul 9, 2010 2:42:27 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext resourcesStart
SEVERE: Error starting static Resources
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid or unreadable WAR file : error in opening zip file
I've verified and tomcat user does have read permissions to war file. Also, i don't think this is a problem with the war file ( actually, all of them ), since other tomcat servers can deploy applications normally.
Do you know what might be causing this issue?
Best Regards,

Not necessarily that old - the "Server built" seems to indicate that
it's roughly 9 month.
To me, this looks like a Tomcat built from source. IIRC the
build.properties.default does set the various version.<foo> properties
like that (version.suffix is "-dev" not "-snapshot" nowadays, though).

Seconded. At least it should be tested if a recent official Tomcat
binary shows the same behaviour.

That is not a good version number for Tomcat, being many, many years old. That makes the rest of the report extremely suspect.

Shared mount of what? You must never, never share the appBase (webapps), work, temp, or logs directories across multiple Tomcat instances.

This one?
http://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.com/2008/08/ode-to-bug-that-almost-was.html
http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6740544
Or possibly glusterfs doesn't support mmap:
http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2009-November/003458.html
The log message comes from JRE internal handling of zip resp. jar files
which uses native mmap().

Rainer

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you weren't aware of the technique. The comment was intended for others with less experience.

I know that, Chuck :-) I made it once, then I used script to rsync and
update war file properly.

One way around that is to FTP the file with a different extension than .war. Once the file is fully present on the target, rename it with the proper extension.

Or...
I used to FTP war files to server once. Doing that on local network was
ok. But doing that to remote server caused similiar error to appear.
Simply Tomcat discovered new war file before I finished my upload.

Fernando:
Just a wild guess -- whenever I've had problems with unreadable WAR/JAR files, it was because they were checked into CVS as text rather than binary.
So the first thing I'd do is verify the integrity of the WAR file -- did it get corrupted along the way?
Good luck...

I don't think that it is a good idea if you put your webapps-directory
on a shared storage - especially if you use "funny things" like
setgid-flag. Tomcat expects an exclusive access to its
Tomcat-directory-structure.
We are using Tomcat-installations for the same application as well but
we use rsync to synchronize and avoid common storage.

And what about the "autoDeploy" flag ?

Yes, we had this problem in the past. What we did was to change server.xml in a way that only one server have unpackWARS set to true, other servers have unpackWARS set to false ( including the one that is having problems ).

That's a problem. Multiple Tomcats may try to expand .war files simultaneously, scribbling on each other. You need to have a separate webapps directory for each instance.

But what is the version? 6.0.0 was not functional. If you can't identify what you've got, I would certainly replace it with a known, current one.

Hello,
Thanks for all replies!
Let me reply to some of them:
* Only webapps folder is shared between servers using glusterfs.
* Tomcat version is a bit old but it has been working for months without any issues. So i don't think it is a case of upgrading it.
* War files does not seem to be corrupted. Otherwise other servers wouldn't be able to deploy them, right?
* I can confirm that tomcat can write to webapps and webapps/Box/, just checked these permissions.
drwxrwsrwx 5 user tomcat 4.0K Jan 21 11:05 Box
-rw-r--r-- 1 user tomcat 27M Jan 21 11:04 Box.war

Just guessing: Tomcat user (of this particular machine) has no write
permission on Tomcats directory webapps/ or webapps/Box/
