I’ve posted this very same issue through the Geronimo forum simply because it is not clear to me where the problem actually lies. Here is a link to the Geronimo post

http://www.nabble.com/Geronimo-1.1-Deployment-Problem-tf2234587.html

Any help we can get with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The information below is a repeatable scenario that describes the problem we are having. Keep in mind that all of the deployment and server manipulation is performed throught MyEclipse facilities with Eclipse.

Eclipse Version:
Version: 3.2.0
Build id: M20060629-1905

MyEclipse Version:
Version: 5.0.1
Build id: 20060810-5.0.1-GA

Geronimo 1.1

Problem:
Hot deploy fails after thrid attempt causing application to be unusable.

Scenario:
1) Server initializes and creates a copy of the deployed application in C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default

– The folder structure that was created is:
C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157720883871\Test-1157720883871.war

– Addionally, the config.xml was updated with the following line:
<module name=”default/Test/1157720883871/war”/>

– The following messages were written to the console as the server started the application:
Geronimo Application Server started
09:08:03,840 INFO [Hot Deployer] Deploying Test.war
09:08:04,605 WARN [TomcatModuleBuilder] Web application . does not contain a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml deployment plan. This may or may not be a problem, depending on whether you have things like resource references that need to be resolved. You can also give the deployer a separate deployment plan file on the command line.
Deployed default/Test/1157720883871/war @
http://RI150WS311:8080/Test

-Running the application produced the correct result.

2) Modified the only JSP in the project and saved. This causes the application change to be hot deployed.

-The following message was written to the console:
09:13:56,665 INFO [Hot Deployer] Redeploying Test.war
09:13:56,962 WARN [TomcatModuleBuilder] Web application . does not contain a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml deployment plan. This may or may not be a problem, depending on whether you have things like resource references that need to be resolved. You can also give the deployer a separate deployment plan file on the command line.
09:13:57,619 INFO [DirectoryMonitor] Hot deployer notified that an artifact was removed: default/Test/1157720883871/war
Redeployed default/Test/1157721236962/war

-The line in config.xml above was changed to the following:
<module name=”default/Test/1157721236962/war”/>

-The C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default folder was changed to the following
C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157720883871 — Empty

C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157721236962\Test-1157721236962.war — Now contains the deployed application with the changes made above.

-Running the application produced the correct result. The changes to the JSP were rendered correctly.

3) Modified the only JSP a second time and saved.

-The following message appeared on the console:
09:19:58,413 INFO [Hot Deployer] Redeploying Test.war
09:19:58,757 WARN [TomcatModuleBuilder] Web application . does not contain a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml deployment plan. This may or may not be a problem, depending on whether you have things like resource references that need to be resolved. You can also give the deployer a separate deployment plan file on the command line.
09:19:59,429 INFO [DirectoryMonitor] Hot deployer notified that an artifact was removed: default/Test/1157721236962/war

-The line in config.xml was changed to:
<module name=”default/Test/1157721598741/war”/>

-The contents of C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default were changed to:

C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157720883871 — Empty
C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157721236962 — Empty
C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157721598741\Test-1157721598741.war — Contains the deployed application with the changes made above.

-Running the application produced the correct result. The changes to the JSP were rendered correctly.

4) Modified the only JSP a third time and saved.

-No additional messages were written to the console.

-The Line in config.xml was not modified.

-No additional changes to C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default

-The deploy directory C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\deploy\Test.war has the correct JSP change.

-Running the application does not display the change made to the JSP. The previous change is still deployed.

-Conslusion: Hot deploy was ignored on the Third change.

5) Stop server — successful, no error messages

6) Start server

-The following is the console log from starting the server. Notice the exception thrown in relation to the hot deploy failure from the previous run.

-The application runs but, displays the changes successfully deployed in step 3.

Observations:
1) This scenario has been executed several times and follows the exact same sequence each time. So, the number of successful hot deployments follows the exact same pattern.
2) The only work around is to remove all associated lines from config.xml and to delete the following folder and all of its content: C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test
3) When observation #2 is performed and the server restarted, the exception is not thrown, the application is deployed properly with the new changes intact and runs fine.

[Riyad Kalla]

The key to figuring out who fault it is, is to check the timestamp on the JSP, if after the 3rd time the timestamp on the single JSP is being updated, then I would have to say the problem is Geronimos as MyEclipse is doing *it’s part* in redeploying the changed file.

I don’t think the app server, under any condition, should fail redeploying the project or booting the project because a single JSP is changing, so I would have to lean towards saying it’s the app server’s issue. Although if the Geronimo folks find something that MyEclipse is doing that is making their app server mad, we are always willing to look into impproving things on our end as well.

[FranVarin]

Hi, When the error happens the version of the JSP contained in

C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\deploy\Test.war

However, the version in

C:\TestEclipse\eclipse32\geronimo-1.1\repository\default\Test\1157978320619\Test-1157978320619.war

remains the old version. It appears that the server never actaully hot deploys the application. The messages on the console confirm that as well. Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

Fran

[Riyad Kalla]

Fran,
At this point I think it’s a geronimo issue, have they replied?

[FranVarin]

Thanks for your response. Geronimo has not replied. I did get a couple of suggestions from others but, they were not fruitful. I am using the Nabble forum. Is there a different forum that you feel is better?

[Riyad Kalla]

I believe nabble is just a front end to all the official mailing lists for the projects right? If that’s the case that should be the “official” mailing list. I’ve only browsed nabble though, not used it, so I’m not 100% positive.

Maybe if you refrase the question on Geronimo such that it isn’t a MyEclipse-specific question (I know the tendency is to point fingers at the *other* tool). If you can reproduce the steps manually, just dragging and dropping a new JSP into the deploy folder 3x and then having it die, then I think they would listen more closely… which is understandable, everyone has to prioritize.

Riyad,
Thank you for the suggestion! For some reason that had not occurred to me. I tried what you suggested and was able to confirm that the issue is 100% a Geronimo issue. I simply started Geronimo using Eclipse then, manipulated the JSP contained in the “deploy” folder and the same symptom occurred. So, this test completely bypasses the MyEclipse plugin. I’ll post this new finding on the Geronimo forum in Nabble and see if there are any new hits.

Thanks,
Fran

Hi Riyad,
Just to keep you up to date, the problem described in this post has been duplicated and accepted as a Geronimo bug. Here is the link to the post on the Geronimo mailing list:

I’ll post back here as the problem moves along.
