Attempting to run quickstart test app
OK, Maven seems to be playing nice now. I am able to connect Maven to the online repositories, and download the needed files. The test app compiles successfully.
However, now I am trying to run the webapp. I have tried to run from the command line using "mvn antrun:run".
The first splash screen shows up ok. When I click start, using port 8080, my browser opens a new window and attempts to download a file. The popup wants me to either save it or find a program to run it. Not sure what I should be selecting there?
Choosing a different port (8081) just gave me a "Cannot display page" error in my browser.
I also tried running it using the Java command:
C:\Users\emryan\My Documents\java isis\PipelineMgmt\myapp\webapp\target>java -ja
r myapp-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
, which gave me the following error:
"no main manifest attribute, in myapp-webapp-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war"
Finally, I also tried running it from within Eclipse by right clicking the "quickstart-webapp.launch" and selecting runas quickstart-webapp. It seems to be working away in the console window, until it gets to this line:
10:38:09,298 [ResteasyDeployment main INFO ] Deploying javax.ws.rs.core.Application: class org.apache.isis.viewer.json.viewer.JsonApplication
2012-03-20 10:38:09.418:INFO::Started SocketConnector@0.0.0.0:8080<mailto:SocketConnector@0.0.0.0:8080>
At which point it seems to freeze. I don't get any sort of screen/popup, it just seems like it's caught in some kind of loop. I left it run for 20 mins but didn't progress beyond that.
For each of these 3 methods tried, I ensured I am not on a proxy, and port 8080 is free and open. So not really sure where to go, 3 different methods and 3 different errors is what it looks like from here! As always, help is hugely appreciated :)
Regards,
Emmet.

Hmm, not sure. What is host " iedub98", do you know? My guess is that
your guest wifi is serving up DNS settings that somehow reference this host.
Your problem, as it stands, is with your interaction with Maven and your
network. You should look into your Maven conf settings.xml (either in your
Maven installation, under the conf/ directory, or in ~/.m2/settings.xml if
you've created one).
The Maven ref page [1] may help; I'd be looking at mirrors and proxies.
If all else fails, pop down to your local starbucks! After all, once
you've actually pulled the artifacts from Maven central repo, you can then
carry on working in Maven offline mode (-o flag)

isis-dev is for developers of Isis itself. Thx.

My guess is that you're using Internet Explorer? If so, what's happening
is that you're hitting the home page of the json viewer (the REST API), ie
http://localhost:8080. This serves up a response of type application/json.
Internet Explorer is too dumb to know what to do with this, so it offers to
download it.
Try using Chrome, with the JsonView plugin installed. Then you'll be able
to see things.
~~~
In terms of hitting the HTML viewer, what you must I guess not have noticed
on the splash screen is that is available at
http://localhost:8080/htmlviewer. So try that URL.
NB: the 0.3.0-incubating, when we release it, I've improved the archetype
so that this stuff isn't quite so hard to discover.

You need to make sure that whatever port you've specified on the start page
is used in the browser.

You mistyped this. There are two WAR files in the webapp/target... one is
the vanilla WAR file (eg as could be deployed in any servlet container, eg
Tomcat's webapp directory), the other - with suffix "-jetty-console.war" is
the one that has been got the extra Jetty files so that it is self-hosting.
(This latter is the one that is run by mvn antrun:run - take a look at the
pom.xml in the webapp dir to see how this is done).

When you run from Eclipse, it'll start the webserver, but doesn't (unlike
the jetty console) automatically start a web browser for you. So you'd
need to open up a browser and navigate directly to
http://localhost:8080(for the REST API) or to
http://localhost:8080/htmlviewer (for the HTML viewer).
