How to to autodeploy war file with GlassFish -- from "Core JavaServerFaces" by David Geary, Cay S. Horstmann

autodeploy, glassfish, java, jsf

Solution

Your WAR file is broken.

Package it up in the web folder instead. WEB-INF should be in the root.

Problem

Naive question, but this is my first step in JSF, so forgive me ;-) I am following all the steps of the first example from "Core JavaServerFaces" by David Geary, Cay S. Horstmann (the 3rd edition). What works in general: - java works - glassfish works - I can compile the attached code - I can create .war file The problem begins when I copy the war file into autodeploy subdirectory of GlassFish and try to show the appropriate page in GF. In return I get 404 error and in logs I find this: Selecting file /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/login.war for autodeployment. Module type not recognized for module /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/login There is no installed container capable of handling this application login Autodeploy failed : /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/login.war. glassfish 3.1.2, java 1.6.0_29, opensuse 11.4. The question is how to make this code work? Updates jar tvf login.war ``` 0 Thu Apr 12 22:24:24 CEST 2012 META-INF/ 71 Thu Apr 12 22:24:24 CEST 2012 META-INF/MANIFEST.MF 0 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 src/ 0 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 src/java/ 0 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 src/java/com/ 0 Thu Apr 12 22:16:32 CEST 2012 src/java/com/corejsf/ 603 Thu Apr 12 22:16:32 CEST 2012 src/java/com/corejsf/UserBean.java 0 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 web/ 0 Thu Apr 12 21:24:56 CEST 2012 web/WEB-INF/ 877 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 web/WEB-INF/web.xml 0 Thu Apr 12 22:21:38 CEST 2012 web/WEB-INF/classes/ 0 Thu Apr 12 22:21:38 CEST 2012 web/WEB-INF/classes/com/ 0 Thu Apr 12 22:21:38 CEST 2012 web/WEB-INF/classes/com/corejsf/ 704 Thu Apr 12 22:21:38 CEST 2012 web/WEB-INF/classes/com/corejsf/UserBean.class 0 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 web/WEB-INF/beans.xml 786 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 web/index.xhtml 394 Mon Jun 27 10:13:54 CEST 2011 web/welcome.xhtml ```
