Has anyone tried AjaxSwing with Tomee Plume

[Murthy Gandikota]

I am having difficulty starting AjaxSwing on Tomcat 9 and Tomee Plume. 

With Tomcat 9 the ajaxswing.war is deployed but the demo was not accessible.

With Tomee Plume ajaxswing.war is not even deployed. Class Not Found Exception for SnoopServlet or something. 

I am however able to run the demo from command line. 

Can anyone help me figure this out? I am trying to convert a webstart application to use AjaxSwing.'

Thank you

Hi Murthy,

I am having difficulty starting AjaxSwing on Tomcat 9 and Tomee Plume. 

The latest available AjaxSwing version (4.6.3) is shipped with Tomcat 8 (Servlet API 3.1) while Tomcat 9 has Servlet API 4.0. That might be the issue that you've stumbled upon. Try to run AjaxSwing with Tomcat 8

From what you described, it may be a misconfiguration of Tomee Plume. Probably something is missed from the CLASSPATH.

I can't tell you more without knowing all the details.

Best regards,

I am able to deploy and test ajaxswing on Tomcat 7 & 8 but not on any version of TomEE. For all I know, TomEE is not a servlet container. Perhaps that's the reason. If there is some bootstrap code to make TomEE work like Tomcat, that I don't know of, that would be gratefully received. 

Thanks

Murthy,

Basically, TomEE is Tomcat with JavaEE libraries. Here is a quote from its website "Tomcat with added EE features - TomEE".

So, the configuration shouldn't differ too much from a "plain" Tomcat.

Concerning the exception that you provided. You can try to remove the following lines from the webapps\ajaxswing\WEB-INF\web.xml (or directly in the ajaxswing.war so that future deploys will have the same changes):

 

<servlet>

    <servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>

    <servlet-class>SnoopServlet</servlet-class>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

     <servlet-name>snoop</servlet-name>

     <url-pattern>/snoop/*</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

Let me know if it works for you

Thank you Yevhen,  I will give it a try and let you know. Also I had a bit of good luck with my client-server application using EJB. Basically I ran the client side code along side ajaxswing on Tomcat 7 and moved the server side code to TomEE. The two talk to each other well and every thing is fine. I guess, my next question is what kind of license ajaxswing comes with? I think it is neither open source nor GPL. Any info is appreciated. 

Thanks
