Deploying .war file to jetty (Something is going wrong - please help!)

Hi,

So far I have been using the run jetty eclipse plugin to run my
project and it is working fine.
I have now got the task of setting this up to run on the production
server rather than my localhost.

The server is on opensuse rather than my local windows installation,
but that shouldn't make a difference. I installed a new version of
jetty, set it up, created my .war file using mvn clean war:war and put
it in the webapps folder.

Everything seemed to be going ok, until I then went to the address on
the server and instead of showing me my application, it showed me a
directory listing showing me:
META-INF/ 4096 bytes 30-Oct-2013 15:12:36
WEB-INF/ 4096 bytes 30-Oct-2013 15:12:36
exercises/ 4096 bytes 30-Oct-2013 15:12:36
favicon.ico 894 bytes 03-Sep-2013 15:41:02
layout/

That isn't good. Although they are the correct directories, why is it
showing me a listing? I then went back to my eclipse version and ran
it to see if anything has gone wrong there and I get an exception
thrown (since using mvn clean war:war). I then reverted back to my
latest subversion commit and it is working fine again, until I use
"mvn clean war:war".

So, I assume that something is going wrong when packaging it into a
.war file, and as a result I am being shown a listing. I have a stack
trace from after using mvn clean war:war, and the printouts from
running that command.
The printout is:

I wonder what this warning is?

Then the exception if I try to run it exactly as I always have before
using runjetty from eclipse:

(org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.RegistryBuilder).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

Any ideas? I thought maybe my web.xml isn't getting in so I went to
take a look insider the .war which was created and it was there.
Luckily I can revert to earlier today and my application runs again,
but as soon as I run mvn clean war:war it all breaks.

I'm a little lost on what to check or steps to take, any help is
really appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry to bother you - the plot thickens.
So I have just found if I do:
mvn clean war:war
It will delete the target folder, and then when I run using the
jettyrun plugin, it gives the exception above.
However, if after running mvn clean war:war I then go in eclipse and
press project>clean, and then run, it works. I am unsure why.

I think this may be related to some issues I had whenever I updated
from svn. At some point I renamed a package named "Tools" to "tools",
and ever since whenever I update from SVN there are some problems that
it cannot find "Tools" when running the project, so I re-name it to
"jools" then back to "tools" and it works... until the next time I
update and it goes back to a capital T (I think svn isn't registering
the name change).
I wonder if it is related, I don't know.

I'll now try building a war again and see if it works after cleaning
the eclipse project.

Hi again - sorry to bother everyone with emails,

I was stuck for hours trying to fix this, but it seems as soon as I've
posted i've managed to get it sorted myself.

It is a strange world we live in. It worked, however I still don't
know why I get this warning:
[WARNING] Warning: selected war files include a WEB-INF/web.xml which
will be ignored
(webxml attribute is missing from war task, or ignoreWebxml attribute
is specified as 'true')

It's running on the server nicely it seems. How exciting! I have to
take it down and make some updates to it, but now I know when the
deadline hits for me in 2 weeks that I am able to put it where it
needs to be.

Thanks,
Steve

I fail to understand the logic about posting to Tapestry user list about a
problem in Maven plugin. Googling the error message gives you this as the
first result:
