Spring Tutorial Build Failed on list and reload targets using eclipse

**TheBeginner** · Aug 7th, 2011, 08:59 AM

Hi,

I am following this tutorial http://static.springsource.org/docs/...tep/part1.html. I am using tomcat 7. The problem is that everything works fine until I build from eclipse the list or reload targets. I can reload/list without any problem from the tomcat manager but it fails for eclipse.

Below is the console output for list target:

Buildfile: /Volumes/Data/thebeginner/workspace/springapp/build.xml

list:
[list] <html>
[list] <head>
[list] <style>

...

[list] </style>
[list] <title>/manager</title>
[list] </head>
[list] <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

...

[list] </body>
[list] </html>

BUILD FAILED
/Volumes/Data/thebeginner/workspace/springapp/build.xml:137: <html>

Total time: 309 milliseconds

The build.xml is as follows:

and the build.properties file is as follows:

# Ant properties for building the springapp
user.home=~
appserver.home=${user.home}/tomcat
#appserver.home=${user.home}/tomcat
# for Tomcat 5 use $appserver.home}/server/lib
# for Tomcat 6 use $appserver.home}/lib
appserver.lib=${appserver.home}/lib
deploy.path=${appserver.home}/webapps
tomcat.manager.url=http://localhost:8080/manager/html
tomcat.manager.username=tomcat
tomcat.manager.password=s3cret

I am developing the application on MacOSX (Snow Leopard), if that helps.
I had to shorten the console output because of the restriction of text length.
It prints out a lot of html. It seems like the entire html for the tomcat manager page.

Please help!

The tomcat-users.xml file is as below. I have modified the file in both locations tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml as well as the tomcat-users.xml file in the servers folder in the eclipse workspace. I have also tried with only the "manager-gui" role, but it doesn't make any difference.

HTML Code:

<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="admin,manager,admin-gui,manager-gui"/>

Another problem that I have noticed now is that after following through the steps 1.5 - 1.12, now the application isn't starting from the tomcat manager. It gives the following message:

FAIL - Application at context path /springapp could not be started
