Thrown Errors while Context-Start are not logged ------------------------------------------------ Key: JBWEB-158 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWEB-158 Project: JBoss Web Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: JBossWeb-2.1.2.GA Environment: JBoss 5.1.0.GA Reporter: Frank Stolle Assignee: Remy Maucherat I always got the following exception while deploying an application: 15:24:00,910 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=jboss.web.deployment:war=XXXXXXXXX/management state=Create mode=Manual requiredState=Installed org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: URL file:/opt/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/tmp/aaaa-44jwh6-g4fmqmf8-1-g4fmsf9j-9w/XXXXXXXX.war/ deployment failed at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.performDeployInternal(TomcatDeployment.java:331) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.performDeploy(TomcatDeployment.java:142) at org.jboss.web.deployers.AbstractWarDeployment.start(AbstractWarDeployment.java:461) at org.jboss.web.deployers.WebModule.startModule(WebModule.java:118) at org.jboss.web.deployers.WebModule.start(WebModule.java:97) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:157) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:96) at org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) at org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:668) at org.jboss.system.microcontainer.ServiceProxy.invoke(ServiceProxy.java:206) at $Proxy38.start(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.system.microcontainer.StartStopLifecycleAction.installAction(StartStopLifecycleAction.java:42) at org.jboss.system.microcontainer.StartStopLifecycleAction.installAction(StartStopLifecycleAction.java:37) ... No other error was logged. The reason was the following error, because a duplicate xml-api was in my classpath (my fault). I wrote a Context-listener which catched all Exceptions and Errors during initialization of Seam and so I got: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking org/xml/sax/EntityResolver class at org.jboss.seam.util.XML.getRootElement(XML.java:22) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.initComponentsFromXmlDocument(Initialization.java:227) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.create(Initialization.java:134) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:35) at my.ContextListener.contextInitialized(ContextListener.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3910) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4393) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.performDeployInternal(TomcatDeployment.java:310) at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.TomcatDeployment.performDeploy(TomcatDeployment.java:142) ... I think TomcatDeployer should not only catch Exceptions, but also Errors and log them. In TomcatDeployment.java line 310ff: try { // Start it context.start(); // Build the ENC } catch (Exception e) { context.destroy(); DeploymentException.rethrowAsDeploymentException("URL " + warUrlStr + " deployment failed", e); } finally { RunAsListener.metaDataLocal.set(null); JBossContextConfig.metaDataLocal.set(null); JBossContextConfig.metaDataShared.set(null); JBossContextConfig.deployerConfig.set(null); JBossContextConfig.kernelLocal.set(null); JBossContextConfig.deploymentUnitLocal.set(null); } if (context.getState() != 1) { context.destroy(); throw new DeploymentException("URL " + warUrlStr + " deployment failed"); } we should add catch (Error e) { context.destroy(); DeploymentException.rethrowAsDeploymentException("URL " + warUrlStr + " deployment failed", e); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
