Deploy grails3 war in Tomcat problem

[Joud]

Hi all, am trying to deploy my grails 3 app into tomcat 8.5.. When opening my app, I get HTTP Status 404 error and in the log I get this:

SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Error deploying web application archive C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 8.5\webapps\MyApp.war

Any idea what might be the cause?

Is that all you see in the log? If not, can you include the entire log? 

Without more information my guess would be that this is a Tomcat dependency issue (i.e. there's an embedded Tomcat dependency in the WAR that needs to be removed)

Hi, 

    i think Justin is correct.

If you have

compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat"

change to 

provided "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat"

so the internal tomcat instance will not interfere with the Tomcat 8.5 

Does your app run from the command line?

Does your app use datasources, how are they configured in your application.yml

do they refer directly to a datasource or are you using JNDI 

             

Regards,

                 Daniel Leahy.

I already have the embedded Tomcat dependency as provided, I followed the instructions of deploying a war file to a container but am stuck in this error from yesterday -_-

Here's the entire log if it helps:

What version of Grails are you using?

Yes my app runs perfectly from command line. and I have a direct oracle datasource configured as follows:

dataSource {

    dbCreate = "none"

url = "----------------"

driverClassName = "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"

dialect = org.hibernate.spatial.dialect.oracle.OracleSpatial10gDialect

username = "username

password = "pwd"

[Joud]

Grails 3.3.8

[Joud]

I saw some threads mentioning that it might be because of groovy-ant dependency, I tried even removing it all but still the same issue.

[Joud]

Any idea? Any hint would be highly appreciated

Hi Joud,

                 i just created a brand new Grails 3.3.8 application/war and deployed it on a local instance of 

Apache Tomcat/8.5.38

with no issue.

I didn't even change the build dependency for the built in tomcat dependency

I am working on a windows 10 machine

What i would do is create a brand new grails app , create the war from that and try and deploy that.

I am assuming you're using the web profile in your grails app.

If that works, add in any additional dependencies one by one until you discover which dependency is causing the issue.

Regards,
