Deployment error: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost]

Hi Team,

I’m following the get started pages of your website: https://docs.camunda.org/get-started/bpmn20/project-setup/
I try to deploy the example Loan-approval application and followed each step exactly. The only difference is that the Process Application class doesn’t accept a public class LoanApprovalApplication. So I have changed that in: class LoanApprovalApplication

I use: Windows 10 and Eclipse 4.6.0 with Maven.
The default JRE definition in Eclipse is jdk1.8.0_101
JRE_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101
The default Invoice application is running in Cockpit

The build of the loan-approval-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.war is successful.
I copied the war file to C:\Camunda\camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.5.0\server\apache-tomcat-8.0.24\webapps
Then I start C:\Camunda\camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.5.0\start-camunda

I get the following (part of a) catalina logfile:

The invoice application is still running in Cockpit.
Any idea how to solve this? I can’t find an answer on internet. Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
Arian

Hi @averbeek,

could you please attach your org.camunda.bpm.getstarted.loanapproval.LoanApprovalApplication.

Cheers,
Askar

averbeek · October 20, 2016, 7:01am

Hi Askar,

See attached file and below screenshot of eclipse.

Regards,

Arian

aakhmerov · October 20, 2016, 7:11am

@averbeek please make your class public and rename file accordingly.

You can read following articles to better understand why:

Cheers,

Hi Askar,

I have changed it (see below screenshot), but still get the same error.

aakhmerov · October 20, 2016, 9:24am

Hi Arian,

did you rerun maven clean package goals?

averbeek · October 20, 2016, 9:44am

Hi,

I did run Maven clean (in Eclipse right button on Pom => Run as Maven clean). As a consequence the war is automatically removed. After that I did run Maven install (in Eclipse right button on Pom => Run as Maven install. The console reports BUILD SUCCESS.

I removed the old war file from C:\Camunda\camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.5.0\server\apache-tomcat-8.0.24\webapps. I copied-pasted the new war file to this directory and started camundo. Still the same error.

Regards,

Arian

aakhmerov · October 20, 2016, 10:45am

HI @averbeek,

are you sure that sources got replaced properly? can you take a look in compiled classes if they are marked as public? Could you make sure that tomcat temp folders are cleaned?

Cheers,
Askar

averbeek · October 20, 2016, 12:28pm

Hi ,

I cleaned the complete target directory in Eclipse (Maven clean).

However there was still a file C:\Eclipse\WSLoanApproval\loan-approval\target\classes\META-INF\processes.xml with only 1 line: default false true

I have removed this file.

I removed the complete directory C:\Camunda\camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.5.0 and I unzipped the download again.

I created a war file within eclipse.

Also a new file processes.xml is created.

I placed the war in the webapps dir and started Camunda.

I received a new SEVERE Error. See attached logfile.

The invoice application still works.

Regards,

Arian

Hi Asker,
Do you have any tips regarding the new error?

aakhmerov · October 28, 2016, 3:57pm

Hi @averbeek,

could you please publish your project on github?

Cheers,
Askar.

averbeek · October 28, 2016, 5:59pm

Hi,

Sorry, I’m not familiar with Github. Attached the export of the Eclipse project (Version: Neon Release (4.6.0)). Does that also work for you?

Regards,

Arian Verbeek

aakhmerov · October 31, 2016, 7:38am

Hi @averbeek,

export from eclipse would work too, but I cannot see an attachment. Could you put it on dropbox or google drive and send me a link?

Cheers,
Askar

averbeek · October 31, 2016, 9:06am

Hi,

Hereby the link to Google-drive. Google Drive: Anmelden

aakhmerov · October 31, 2016, 9:50am

Hi @averbeek,

your processes.xml is corrupted. Please add following closing tag </process-application>. After that deployment works fine on clean distribution of tomcat.

Hope that helps,
Askar.

Hi Askar,

That solved the problem. Thanks a lot for your support.
