Elastic Beanstalk fails creating

I finally reached the point where my Elastic Beanstalk Instance / Environment got launched. (Java Corretto 11 Platform) Now it fails starting up the provided .jar file.
In the eb-engine.log file, I am not able to find any more error than this:
2021/05/27 11:36:25.889735 [INFO] Executing instruction: StageJavaApplication
2021/05/27 11:36:25.889871 [ERROR] An error occurred during execution of command [app-deploy] - [StageJavaApplication]. Stop running the command. Error: staging java app failed due to invalid zip file
The jar file is a Spring Boot application built with mvn -B package.
Locally the whole thing starts, but crashes afterwards because of not given environment variables (Expected behaviour).
But it seems AWS is not even starting the application..
Any suggestions on this?

Spring Boot apps run nicely on Elastic Beanstalk. However, you do need to set some variables. For example, have you set server-port variable to 5000?
And as you stated, to successfully use a Service Client, you can set environment variables for your creds. Here is an end to end walkthrough that shows how to successfully put a Spring BOOT app that invokes several AWS Services on Elastic Beanstalk.
Creating your first AWS Java web application
PS - your log file mentions a ZIP file. Be sure to create the JAR properly as discussed in the above example.

Just in case someone arrive here looking for an answer about this guy:
Error: staging java app failed due to invalid zip file
I was renaming my service jar in Gradle, using:
tasks.withType<org.springframework.boot.gradle.tasks.bundling.BootJar> {
archiveFileName.set("service.jar")
launchScript()
}
And ElasticBeanstalk was not happy about the renaming.
When I let it have the default name, then no zip issues and all worked like a charm.

heroku nodejs app - events.js:167 Error Unhandled 'error' event : spawn java ENOENT

I'm having a node-js app on Heroku using the pdfMerge.js library.
following the documentation I'm using the stream event mechanism as a callback to identify the end of the process
then an exception is thrown :
events.js:167 Error: spawn java ENOENT.
I'm almost sure it's happening because I'm messing required java installation as described here:
pdfmerger combines multiple PDF-files into a single PDF-file. It is a node module that utilizes the Apache PDFBox Library, which the required functionality are distributed along with this module. The only requirement for this module to run, is having Java 6 or higher in the path.
I'm Not familiar enough with Heroku installation/configuration process in order to make it work.
thanks in advance

You can add Java to your app by adding the heroku/jvm buildpack like this:
$ heroku buildpacks:add -i 1 heroku/jvm
Then redeploy with git commit --allow-empty and git push heroku master.

How do I bundle a Custom C Shared Library with Java Application in Cloud Foundry?

I have previously been deploying a java application successfully in Cloud Foundry. However, now the developers have added a shared library compiled from C. I have added the .so to the .zip file (I'm using universal packager and deploying to Cloud Foundry by zip file) and ensured the .so is executable. However, when I deploy I get an error:
2016-12-23T14:39:01.013+00:00 [STG/0] [OUT] -----> Java Buildpack Version: eba4df6 | git://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack.git#eba4df6
2016-12-23T14:39:01.017+00:00 [STG/0] [ERR] [Buildpack] ERROR Compile failed with exception #<RuntimeError: No container can run this application.

2016-12-23T14:39:01.017+00:00 [STG/0] [ERR] No container can run this application.

2016-12-23T14:39:01.024+00:00 [STG/0] [OUT] Exit status 223
So my understanding is that I need to created a Custom Buildpack from the Java Buildpack. However, I am getting stuck with the code at this point:
https://github.com/ONSdigital/java-buildpack/blob/master/bin/compile#L28
# Adding crf tagger library
status "Adding crf tagger support"
cp $bp_dir/parsers/src/main/resources/libbackend.so $build_dir/vendor/
# update the PATH
status "Building runtime environment"
mkdir -p $build_dir/.profile.d
echo "export PATH=\"$HOME/bin:\$HOME/vendor/:\$PATH\";" > $build_dir/.profile.d/crftagger.sh
echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=\"\$HOME/vendor/\";" >> $build_dir/.profile.d/crftagger.sh
From what I can gather I only need to modify the compile stage. What do I need to do to copy over the .so and have the Buildpack run successfully.

Please take a look to this https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/devguide/deploy-apps/deploy-app.html#profile
Pre-Runtime Hooks that's you need. I can't give you more details because you haven't provided enough information (project structure, do you have .profile in you root and etc.).
If you need to add shared libs try to use attr_reader :additional_libraries https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack/blob/master/docs/extending-droplet.md

Failed to customize Java Version in Bluemix

I've deployed my app to Bluemix and want to change the default Java version from 8 to 7. Then I run the cf command "cf set-env myapp JBP_CONFIG_IBMJDK "version: 1.7+"", then run "cf restage myapp", but error occurred. Below is the log.
Anyone can give me some tips on how to customize Java version, instead of using the default one? Thanks so much!

The error is related with the buildpack not compiling successfully.
Check if you are using any feature related to jre 1.8 version.

gradle process command java finished with non-zero exit value 1

I am getting the following error when I type gradle bootRun --stacktrace --debug in the CentOS 7 terminal to use gradle to launch this sample spring boot app.
Caused by: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException:
Process 'command '/opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java'' finished with
non-zero exit value 1
I have googled this error and read other SO postings that are similar but not duplicates. For example, this is in eclipse in CentOS 7 and a web app. This is not an android app, etc. Also, commands given in other postings have not resolved this problem.
All of the code required to reproduce this problem is in the github link above, and all of the logs to diagnose the problem is in this OP below. How do I resolve this error so that I gradle bootRun can succussfully launch the sample app?
STEP BY STEP REPRODUCTION OF THE PROBLEM:
I downloaded the app as-is by navigating to /home/user/workspaces/ and typing git clone https://github.com/jrodenbostel/beyond-the-examples
I then navigated to cd /home/user/workspaces/beyond-the-examples/part-5 and typed gradle bootRun --stacktrace --debug, which resulted in the stack trace and logs that you can read by clicking on this link to a file sharing site. (The logs are too long to include in this OP.)

This was my original error message:
Changing my %JAVA_HOME% in Window's Environmental Variables from Java 9 (file directory C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.1) to Java 8 (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151) was what fixed it for me. You can figure out what path you set %JAVA_HOME% to by typing echo %JAVA_HOME% in Command Prompt.
So yea, as of 12-20-2017, gradle bootRun doesn't play well with Java 9. Hopefully that will be fixed soon and I can delete this answer.

Looking at the logs this appears to be your problem:
nested exception is org.springframework.dao.DataIntegrityViolationException: PreparedStatementCallback; SQL [inser t into users (username, password, enabled) values (?,?,?)]; Data truncation:
Data too long for column 'password' at row 1; nested exception is com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlDataTruncation: Data truncation: Data too long for column 'password' at row 1.
Anyway you can truncate the password size? Otherwise increasing the 'password' column size should do the trick.

In My case, I was getting this error when I was trying to launch my spring boot application. The reason for the error was the port 8080 (default port for running my app in my case) was already being used by another application (mySql) on my machine.
I killed that other application and retried to launch my app, and it worked!

Just wanted to add my experience with this error. I used the Grails Application Forge and included the full package in the name when generating my Grails 5.1.2 application. When I ran it, I got the "...java'' finished with
non-zero exit value 1" error. I went back and generated the application with only the application name, removing the package, and it worked. Also, this was only a problem on Windows 10 in a command prompt. Both versions of my application worked in a Cygwin command prompt.
