Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

See this from the output of the installer.  The app dir is is not in “webapp/” dir, its in “build/dist/”, and there should be a warfile there too or you can war it up.

 

You shouldn’t need to compare files or dirs or anything, it will all be there.  If you take that dir or war and put it in a tomcat webapps dir or edit the server.xml it will work

 

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

 

Ah ha - There is no web.xml file under WEB-INF.  I had not noticed it was not bundled in the war file.

 

To clarify .. let me outline my steps in bringing up the installation.

 

My intent was to use the embedded tomcat and demo data on the first run.  I had successfully installed the same on my iMac.  I installed the demo, but I did not install it under /usr/share/tomcat6 at first, the RHEL location.  

 

I saved the installation output and it finished indicating the application was built and ready to run. My assumption was if it built properly with the embedded tomcat and demo, all necessary files would be in the appropriate location since the installation on the iMac functioned as hoped for. 

 

However, I could bring up tomcat from that installation on this (i.e., bring up the tomcat default page), but I could not get it to find or recognize the /webapps directory.  

 

I then created a grouper.war for everything under ./grouper-ui-2.2.1/webapp and moved it to /usr/share/tomcat6/webapps and sure enough, the application became visible, but I am obviously missing many files.  

 

Are you talking about the web.xml file under ./grouper.ui-2.2.1/dist/grouper/WEB-INF/web.xml?  

 

I have an old installation on the same server.  I am going to take some time to do a directory comparison between the two.  I have done that for WEB-INF/lib and am not missing files there now, but I had not yet compared WEB-INF or other directories.

Did you change the web.xml and take out a filter?

 

If you take the installer and run it can you get up and running?  And then what changes do you make to get to this point?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Error - although library in place in webapps

 

Good afternoon,

 

I am working through the installation of the demo in RHEL.  I have successfully added some libraries that were not in the WEB-INF/lib folder, but when I search for the library location for the following error, it appears the required JAR is in the library.

 

The ERROR:

java.lang.NullPointerException

        edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.grouperUi.beans.ui.GrouperRequestContainer.retrieveFromRequestOrCreate(GrouperRequestContainer.java:202)

        org.apache.jsp.index_jsp._jspService(index_jsp.java:74)

        org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:70)

        javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)

        org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:377)

        org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:313)

        org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:260)

        javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717)

 

References to GrouperRequestContainer:

[root@<myserver>]# grep -r GrouperRequestContainer *

index.jsp:<>

index.jsp:GrouperRequestContainer.retrieveFromRequestOrCreate();

Binary file WEB-INF/lib/grouper-ui.jar matches

 

A listing of the jar reveals the class is present and since I have added all patches, and been consistent with the version, *.2.2.1, I assumed this jar contains the appropriate methods.

 

Suggestions?
