Getting javax.servlet.ServletException : on hapi-fhir-server-example

[aan...@gmail.com]

Hi James and the community,

I am new to the project and I am setting up a test server on Amazon AWS. I can get the server up and running using the docker image (except that a t2.large instance was required). I get the webpage for the test server as below.

When I click on "list of all patients" i.e.

Here are some things you might wish to try:

• View a list of patients on this server.

I get the the following error. What should I do or have done to avoid this? 

HTTP ERROR 500

Problem accessing /hapi-fhir-jpaserver/resource. Reason:

If it helps, I installed Oracle JDK 8 by following instructions from here : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-with-apt-get-on-ubuntu-16-04

Thanks!
