I have a jvm arg, JAVA_OPTS=-Dblah.env=Something, set in the startUp.bat for the tomcat. The arg is used in a jar in the war, it's giving me an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder. I don't have this issue when I run it via run-app.
Structure: run war in tomcat, the war has a jar that tries #PropertySource({"classpath:blahClient${blah.env}.properties"}) and gets the 'Could not resolve placeholder'
Note: I also have a line in my resources.groovy similar to:
blahClientConfig(BlahClientConfig) {
application.refresh()
}
Stack trace:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'blah.env' in string value "classpath:blahClient${blah.env}.properties"

Why doesn't the jar see the jvm arg blah.env?
Turns out to be a stupid question I had JAVA_OPTS=-Dblah.env=Something when I should have had set JAVA_OPTS=-Dblah.env=Something

I see many posts for this issue, but I'm still not clear how to resolve my issue. I have a Maven app that is working fine with an external instance of Tomcat. I was requested to switch this to an embedded instance of maven so I could run this with the mvn tomcat7:run command.
Fine, but now I get the exception listed below. I don't know what setting is missing. The error message is not helpful because it only lists a relative path:
"Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/classes/application.xml]". There is a "/WEB-INF/classes/application.xml" file under my "target" folder that maven is building to, but apparently embedded tomcat is looking somewhere else, except I don't know where or how to tell it to look in "/target/WEB-INF/classes/application.xml"
How do I determine where the embedded tomcat instance is looking for this file ( the entire path, not just the relative path) and how do I update it?
Update - I saw the link you referred me to. It does not help. I have a very specific question that is not addressed in the link you provided: How do I determine where the embedded tomcat instance is looking for this file?

I've created nice application using Spark. Now I want to deploy it to Apache Tomcat 7. I've tried to build WAR using Apache Ant:
<target name="war">
<war destfile="ROOT.war"
webxml="web.xml">
<classes dir="classes"/>
</war>
</target>
I've placed compiled code into classes folder. In web.xml I've placed officially recommended code:
<web-app>
<filter>
<filter-name>SparkFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>spark.servlet.SparkFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>applicationClass</param-name>
<param-value>com.MyApplication</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SparkFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
Then I've placed ROOT.war into webapps folder, restarted Tomcat and my application isn't deployed.
I've checked catalina.out

Hm, looks like there is no some Spark JAR in classpath. I've added
/usr/share/tomcat7/lib/spark-core-1.1.1.jar
It looks like there is no spark.servlet.SparkFilter there. Do you have any ideas where I can find this jar?
Or if anyone has WAR file ready to deploy, could you share it with me?
I have checked that jar files from /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/ are used by other servlets.
I have added an example of how you build a war with maven and sparkjava 2.3.
Here is the repository https://github.com/kliakos/sparkjava-war-example with instructions.
The steps are fairly simple. It should work with a fresh Tomcat installation, otherwise it may be some Tomcat related problem you are facing.
I'm using warbler to package my JRuby web app into a war file and am deploying it to Apache Tomcat 8.0.21. This works well. However, I'm trying to run warbler using the "compiled" command instead:
warble compiled war
When I deploy the resulting war file, I'm getting the following exception :

How come the compiled version is producing an exception? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
I think this was a bug related to the warbler gem. I just upgraded my JRuby version from 1.7.4 to 1.7.5 and also upgraded warbler from 1.4.3 to 1.4.8 and that fixed this issue.

Tomcat is just a servlet container and AFAIK, it does not support any kind of webservices by default.
You have to have the required libraries in your WEB-INF/lib or add it to tomcat lib folder and make use of it.
you are getting ClassNotFoundException as javax/ws/rs/Produces is not found in the classpath.
Deploy the REST implementation (Ex: Jersey) to server lib and restart your server.
Try removing annotations in your Axis2 service class. In our case, removing #Deprecated solved the error.
I've written a couple of servlets on my local machine using eclipse. I've tested them on my local machine and everything works perfectly fine.
I then exported my project as a .war file and put it under the webapps directory of my tomcat in another machine to which I only have ssh access to. I restarted my tomcat server and after looking at the log files I see that it's throwing the following exception:

No idea what this means?
I found the solution here.
I was right as in you don't need to have the web.xml anymore. You can simply use annotations to define paths for your servlet. But the problem was that I was including catalina.jar in my lib which was causing issues. Removing catalina.jar fixed things up!
I met this problem after I use maven into my project. As Adam said, I removed all tomcat libs in the maven dependencies and then the problem fixed.
