Deploing problem

[micha...@googlemail.com]

Hi,
After creating a project as described on „get started“ I tried to deploy it on tomcat and got various errors.

1. I created the .war file as described and used the given entries in the processes.xml. This error occurs:

2. I left the processes.xml empty and this error occurs:

17.07.2013 11:02:20 org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
INFO: Deploying web application archive D:\Users\...\webapps\loan-approval-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war

17.07.2013 11:02:20 org.camunda.bpm.container.impl.jmx.JmxRuntimeContainerDelegate deployProcessApplication
INFO: Process Application Loan Approval App sucessfully deployed.



In both cases the .war was not executable in the browser.

I tried to google for a solution but couldn’t find one.
Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.
Bye!

Hey Arkadius,

I had a similar problem with the error: "The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed." this means at my case that i had a space at the beginning from my XML file. Make sure that you have no space befor the beginning of the <?xml version="1.0" Tag

I Hope it helps you

Hey rocky,

Many thanx for this input! I actually had a space character in front of <?xml…
Now it works! Unbelievable!

Bye!
