Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Sonia Zorba <>]

Hi,

I've got a working Grouper UI + Web services (version 2.3.0) on Tomcat 6, but 
now I would to upgrade to Tomcat 8.

I edited the Tomcat 8 server.xml adding:

<Context docBase="/opt/grouper/2.3.0/grouper.ui-2.3.0/dist/grouper" 
path="/grouper" reloadable="false"/>
<Context 
docBase="/opt/grouper/2.3.0/grouper.ws-2.3.0/grouper-ws/build/dist/grouper-ws"
 path="/grouper-ws" reloadable="false"/>

and my <Realm... /> with commonRole="grouper_user"

and I copied the tomcat-users.xml

The UI app is working, but if I try to access the webservices I have the 
following error:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.hooks.beans.HooksContext
        
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ws.GrouperServiceJ2ee.doFilter(GrouperServiceJ2ee.java:680)

Looking at catalina.out I see:

Grouper warning: parent dir of log file doesnt exist: /logs
Error trying to make parent dirs for logger or logging first statement, check 
to make sure you have proper file permissions, and that your servlet 
container is giving your app rights to access the log directory (e.g. for 
tomcat set TOMCAT5_SECURITY=no), google it for more info

It seems that in log4j.properties it is used a wrong ${grouper.home} property.

What configuring step am I missing?

Thanks,
Sonia
