Cannot install any Geronimo Sample apps
Hi, I'm new to Geronimo, and I want to test out some sample apps, but so far I have not been able to install any using several methods. I'm using Geronimo 2.1 with jetty 6 (should I use Geronimo 2.2?). I am running Windows Vista SP1 (long story...).
*First, through admin console > Plugins:
In left nav, click on Plugins. I see these two repositories:
http://geronimo.apache.org/plugins/geronimo-2.1/
file:/C:/Users/Administrator/.m2/repository/
Smaples oly show up in "file/C:" repository (I downloaded source code and built using maven).
I cannot install plugins from here, I get an error after clicking ot Install plugin. Browser "cannot Open the Internet site" (URL is: http://localhost:8080/console/portal//Applications/Plugins/__rp0x3plugin0x2ImportExport!1639862964%7C0_configIds/org0x2apache0x2geronimo0x2samples0x3customer-jetty0x320x210x220x3car/__rp0x3plugin0x2ImportExport!1639862964%7C0_downloadKey/4/__rp0x3plugin0x2ImportExport!1639862964%7C0_mode/downloadStatus/__rp0x3plugin0x2ImportExport!1639862964%7C0_repository/file:0x3C:0x3Users0x3German0x30x2m20x3repository0x3)
*First, through admin console > Deploy new:
I build one of the Samples, then I browse to the Plan.xml in the corresponding directory (gsamples-2.1.2\samples\sample-datasource\target\resources\META-INF).
This gives me an error of: "Cannot deploy the requested application module because no deployer is able to handle it. This can happen if you have omitted the J2EE deployment descriptor, disabled a deployer module, or if, for example, you are trying to deploy an EJB module on a minimal Geronimo server that does not have EJB support installed. (planFile=C:\g2\geronimo-jetty6-javaee5-2.1\var\temp\plan.xml) "
I'm pretty sure I have EJB module, and all the Delpoyer modules seem to be running, for liek Calculator sample (J2EE, Jetty, etc, etc... everything in the dependencies section of the plan.xml).
I cannot even install the sample-datasource plugin.
*Third, through GShell:
Using gsh deploy/deploy, I get an error when choosing a Sample to install, it throws an error stating that it cannot load a dependency.
I've tried looking online and in the archives, but no solution seems to work for me. Since none of the samples seem to install correclty, I feel this is a server confg issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Vista introduces new security constraints, so some simple questions to
help debug what's going on (as I don't have a Vista machine to test with) -
- Are you running Geronimo under the same User as it was
installed/extracted with?
- Does the user account you're running Geronimo under have Admin rights
or is just a User?
- Where did you extract Geronimo too? Under your \Users\<uid>\
directory or to something like C:\ ? Extracting it to a location
outside your home directory would be a problem for normal users. I was
just setting up a new Win2008 Server and noticed I could extract files
to c:\geronimo, but did not have the rights as a user to modify/delete
files (just create them) until I edited the default permissions for the
directory. Maybe this is your problem on Vista...

Yes, I used ""Update Repository List".

Did you use the "Update Repository List" option before trying to install
the plugin this time? I ran into a case yesterday where I had to use
the Update option before I could install the DayTrader plugins from a
manually added repo....

Well, it started again from scratch on Vista, following your instructions,
and it worked fine.
I originally had troubles because I did not see this repository:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/samples/tags/samples-parent-2.1.2
I did not know it would appear automatically by first clicking update
repositories (or I just should have added it). That seems to have made the
difference. The earlier issues I was having seem to stem from the fact that
I downloaded the samples source and tried to build and deploy.
Thanks so much for all your help!

I looked back at your original post and it looks like you were
attempting to install from your local repo rather than from the 2.1.2
samples repo (and the geronimo repo you mentioned seeing didn't quite
make sense as it contained the wrong version). So I'm not sure of the
exact scenario/repo/etc... on your Vista attempt. You should be able to
install the plugin from a local build of the samples if you pulled the
source from
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/samples/tags/samples-parent-2.1.2
or the working development branch:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/samples/branches/2.1. If not,
then there is a problem.
In short, if you can recreate the problem and provide some more details
on Vista (such as the names of the missing dependencies) then it would
be helpful to open a JIRA. I'd also be interested in knowing if you can
successfully install the plugin on Vista using the samples 2.1.2 plugin
repository.
Thanks,
Joe

Yeah, I could start the server. I could get as far as the sample plugin
install screen. After clicking install, it fails. Should I file a bug?

There have been a few people posting about some problems on Vista. Most
of those seem to be related to issues starting the server and/or using
eclipse. It sounded like you were beyond any of those problems. I
haven't tried Vista myself so I don't have any first hand knowledge. It
seems like it should work.

I followed your steps on a WIndows XP machine ant it all worked great.
My previous failed attempts were on a machine running Windows Vista. Any
known issues with Vista and Geronimo?
Thanks for your help!

Re: Cannot install any Geronimo Sample apps

If you are using the 2.1.3 jetty javaee5 assembly
(geronimo-jetty6-javaee5-2.1.3) then I am a little confused by your
earlier statements on the repositories you see in the plugins portlet.
They don't seem to be the list I would expect (see below).
Also, there are some issues installing plugins using the web console
from a jetty server involving dwr. IIRC things should install but the
web console may freeze and you will see some dwr errors in the command
window. If you want a smoother ride you might want to switch to the
tomcat server (geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.2.zip)
Try the following and let me know where you see differences:
- Start from a clean slate. Get the the geronimo-jetty6-javaee5-2.1.3
zip or tomcat referenced above and unpack it.
- start the server
- connect to the web console (http://localhost:8080/console)
- click on Plugins under Navigation in the left hand navigation panel
- click on "Update Repository List" in the Install Plugins portlet
- When you look at the list of repositories you should see three:
- http://geronimo.apache.org/plugins/geroniom-2.1.3/
- http://geronimo.apache.org/plugins/samples-2.1.2/
- file:/... (pointing to your local maven repo if you have built
something locally)
- Select the second repository (samples-2.1.2) and then click on "Show
Plugins in selected repository"
- Choose just one sample - let's pick the calculator plugin for the
appropriate server you installed (tomcat or jetty).
- You should then see some info on the plugin and it's dependencies.
Select "install" to install it.
- When the install is complete you should see a list of the dependencies
that were either already present or installed. For this sample all of
the dependencies should already be installed.
- Next, you should be able to access the running sample using
http://localhost:8080/calculator
NOTE: If you use Jetty you will probably get an error in the command
prompt about dwr and the console install may never appear to complete.
However, the sample should be actually installed after a few minutes and
you should be able to access it using the url above.
One more thing ... For some reason access to the apache servers has been
crawling lately (especially yesterday and today). It may take much
longer to install a plugin than normal until the issue is resolved.

I installed Geronimo 2.1.3 (from this site:
http://geronimo.apache.org/apache-geronimo-v213-release.html)
It should be working per your comments. Any idea where I can start
debugging?

Re: Cannot install any Geronimo Sample apps

Hi German,
Can you clarify which Geronimo server you are using? Is it Geronimo 2.1
downloaded binaries, a local build of our svn branch for 2.1 (which
would be 2.1.4-SNAPSHOT), or something else (such as 2.1.1, 2.1.2, or
2.1.3)?
I recommend that you use Geronimo 2.1.2, 2.1.3, or 2.1.4-SNAPSHOT since
our 2.1.2 Samples will only work with those versions at this point in time.
HTH,
Joe
