Spring Template Project Now Working with Cloud Foundry Server

[redcode7000]

Hi there,

Hope someone could help me solve my problem. I'm currently trying to create a spring mvc project using STS tool.
So I created one using the Spring Template Project provided by STS. I tried to run it using tomcat server and it's doing fine. But when I tried using the VMare Cloud Foundry Server, it is not working anymore. I'm having this kind of error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.NullPointerException
	org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:538)
	org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:370)

I would appreciate any help guys!

Hey!

What version of STS and what version of the Cloud Foundry integration for Eclipse are you using?

Hi Martin,

I looked at my eclipse installation, so here it shows:

Spring IDE - Version: 3.0.0.201208090952-RELEASE
Cloud Foundry Integration for Eclipse - Version: 1.2.0.201208271601-RELEASE

I'm also using Eclipse Juno.

Is there a version issue when using sts and cloudfoundry?

Thanks!

Hey!

Those versions look fine, just wanted to make sure you are using the latest version of the right components.
Did you try to do a "clean" on the project before you publish it to your cloudfoundry.com account?

Yup I did. Actually, I didn't expect it to be this hard to run this very simple spring project in cloudfoundry. What I did was simpy create new project base on spring mvc template project. Then that's it, I already have a preconfigured spring mvc project. I did't change any configuration. So when I run it in my tomcat localhost it was running good, but with cloudfoundry, i don't know why i'ts having error. As far as I know you don't have to change any configuration with your spring project alteast.

I'm getting a little bit frustated about it. hehe.. but I know there's a way , I just cant figure out.

Hope you could help me.!

Thanks!!!

Hey!

I tried this myself again and using a fresh STS 3.0.0 distribution with installed Cloud Foundry for Eclipse support, all this works out of the box. Here are a few things we can/should check to see why it is not working in your environment:

- after you created a fresh MVC template project, does it build fine? Or do you see any error markers appearing?
- are you behind a proxy/firewall? After setting up your cloud foundry server in your IDE, can you connect to it without any problems?
- is there anything related showing up in the Error View?

Here is what I did:
- downloaded and installed a fresh STS 3.0.0 distribution
- added the cloud foundry support from the dashboard
- created a cloud foundry server in STS (Servers view -> new...)
- created a new MVC template project
- deployed that to CF, saw the log output in the console
- tried to open the website and it worked

I am sure we will figure out what is going wrong in your case... Sorry that you don't have this expected out-of-the-box experience...

Cheers,
-Martin
