Error deploying to Google App Engine

[zpyoung]

I have downloaded the new Spring Roo 1.1.0.M3 and I have created a real simple project. After I exit roo shell I run the mvn gae:deploy command and get the following error.

Steps

roo> project --topLevelPackage com.tenminutes
roo> persistence setup --provider DATANUCLEUS --database GOOGLE_APP_ENGINE
roo> entity --class ~.Timer --testAutomatically
roo> field string --fieldName message --notNull
roo> hint controllers
roo> controller all --package ~.web
roo> selenium test --controller ~.web.TimerController
roo> perform tests
roo> perform package
roo> perform eclipse
roo> quit

I changed the application name in appengine-web.xml.

c:\ mvn gae:deploy

Something is not setup correctly in the web.xml file but not sure.

Here, same procedure, same trouble.

[zpyoung]

Have you tried running it under tomcat? It is working under tomcat for me.

mvn tomcat:run

[Justin Lee]

In web.xml, change the <welcome-file> tag from "/" to "index"

This is something that changed from 1.1.0.M2 to 1.1.0.M3 for some reason...

[zpyoung]

Could this be a bug or is it something I'm doing wrong?

[martindelemotte]

I think it's a bug. I get the same error.

Modifying the web.xml as Justin says works though.

[zpyoung]

Should this issue be file on the issues tracker? If so I can file it if we need to.

Thanks

Zach

It sounds like you get it to work on App Engine after modifying the <welcome-file>? I get the same error but after changing <welcome-file> to index, i get another error (does anybody know how to avoid this one?):

Someone sent me the follow message. I will try it this evening. I have the same case. Let me know if it works.

Hey guys, I FOUNDED. I have the same problem. I use win 7 64bit and of course I install JDK of 64 bits... and have the problem...


To solve this issue, install a jdk of 32 Bits, and set your environment variable JAVA_HOME, to the new jdk installed.

[zpyoung]

Tried change everything to 32 bit and still no luck. I did post something on twitter and google app engine google group to see anybody else has an answer.
