No entry for META-INF/context.xml exists

[ViperRacer2002]

Hello,

I've searched through the forums and tried all of the different options, but to no avail, I still receive errors when deploying the war. Note, I installed Tomcat5 though apt-get.

OS: Ubuntu 6.06

Here are the errors I've been seeing when deploying the WAR file through the Tomcat Web Application Manager this is what I received:

Code: Select all

FAIL - Encountered exception java.io.IOException: No entry for META-INF/context.xml exists.

When I try to start the application through the same page I receive this error:

Code: Select all

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

Here are my entries out of the log files in /usr/share/tomcat5/logs:

catalina_2006-12-15.log

Code: Select all

Ok, I got it to work.

First I added a repository for java:

Code: Select all

deb http://seveas.imbrandon.com dapper-seveas java
deb-src http://seveas.imbrandon.com dapper-seveas java

note: you need to run the below command also:

Code: Select all

wget http://seveas.imbrandon.com/1135D466.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Next, I updated apt, and installed the needed java packages:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5
sudo apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.5

Then I edited the /etc/default/tomcat5 file with the below:

Code: Select all

sudo vi /etc/default/tomcat5

After:

Code: Select all

#JSSE_HOME=/usr/local/jsse

Add:

Code: Select all

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun

All of this was done with and install of Tomcat5 with Ubuntu Dapper with the below command:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install tomcat*

The default install uses "kaffe" java which was causing my problems. At some point I'll clean this up and make a nice how-to for Ubuntu Dapper users. So far I haven't had any problems.
