Tomcat7 doesn't initialize my spring configuration

I have a simple maven spring project, when I run the project on the tomcat server, I don't see tomcat load the configuration on the start up.
MySpringMvcDispatcherServletInitializer.java
package com.abc.xyz.config;
import
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer;
public class MySpringMvcDispatcherServletInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
#Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}
#Override
protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { DemoAppConfig.class };
}
#Override
protected String[] getServletMappings() {
return new String[] { "/" };
}
}
DemoAppConfig.java
package com.abc.xyz.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan("com.abc.xyz")
public class DemoAppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
}
DemoRestController.java
package com.abc.xyz.rest;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/test")
public class DemoRestController {
// add code for the "/hello" endpoint
#GetMapping("/hello")
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello World!";
}
}

tomcat web application manager
Updated: I have a temp fix, (wow,it takes me 2 days to make some progress since there is no ERRORs  at all in the project).
Here is the trick: Right click project => properties=> Deployment
Assembly=> add=> choose Java Build Path Entries=>choose Maven
Dependencies=> apply=> OK
You can see server log refresh and it finally loads spring
configuration, and if you check
tomcat home directory/wtpwebapps/{project name}/WEB-INF/lib, you can
see all the maven dependencies are copied to here
Up to this point, It looks like everything is fine now, but I find the
other issue, every time I right click=>maven=> update project...=> it
will try to remove the dependencies(jars) in tomcat home
directory/wtpwebapps/{project name}/WEB-INF/lib,
If your project is running at the tomcat , you will get a error
because these jars are being used.
But if you stop server, and update project and then run as server
again, everything is back to normal, no error, no spring configuration
in the server startup log, then you have to do the same trick again.
I tried so many online solutions about "maven project update will
remove jars in tomcat server", none of them are working. So if anyone
has the the fix, please shared

I have no idea what's the problem here, I've been trying to fix this for a while now, it build fine on my local machine, also openshift recognized that it should be built using JDK 7, thanks in advance everyone :)
Edit: Here is the tomcat log, it shows that the application is deployed correctly I guess.

Looks like you are probably missing the "openshift" profile in your pom.xml file. You can see an example of it here:
https://github.com/openshift/origin-server/blob/master/cartridges/openshift-origin-cartridge-jbossas/versions/7/template/pom.xml
You need to have that in your pom.xml if you are deploying from source with a git push, or openshift won't know how to deploy the .war file that it builds.

Pass custom class instance to JAX-WS service method

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to pass a custom object into a JAX-WS service method. Nothing I do seems to work.
How do I get an instance of this trivial class
public class User
{
// Private instance variables
public String firstname;
public String lastname;
public User() {}
// // Constructor for a new user doesn't have an ID parameter
public User (String firstname, String lastname) {
this.firstname = firstname;
this.lastname = lastname;
}
// Get & Set Methods
/* Returns the user's last name */
public String getLastName() {
return lastname;
}
/* Sets the user's last name */
public void setLastName(String newLastName) {
lastname = newLastName;
}
/* Returns the user's first name */
public String getFirstName() {
return firstname;
}
/* Sets the user's first name */
public void setFirstName(String newfirstname) {
firstname = newfirstname;
}
}
To be passed into a web service method, like so:
#WebService(serviceName = "UserService",
endpointInterface = "IUserService",
targetNamespace = "http://bioflip.org")
public class UserService implements IUserService
{
#Override
public String getUserName(User user)
{
return user.getFirstName() + " " + user.getLastName();
}
}
Here is the service interface:
#WebService(targetNamespace = "http://bioflip.org")
public interface IUserService
{
#WebMethod
String getUserName(User user);
}
My service doesn't deploy on Tomcat EE 7. What is wrong? Also, any good tutorials on a topic (that is NOT a hello world tutorial, which seem to be everywhere and are super useless) would be highly appreciated.

Not able to run spring web socket demo

I am trying to run a demo of spring web socket but not able to test it completely. I am using java 7 and tomcat 7.0.50. I don't get any error while server startup, but when I open the web page with js making the connection to it I got 404 page not found. I am not sure if I am missing anything in configuration to make it run and how can I be able to connect it from js side.
I have following xml file:
<beans ....>
<context:annotation-config />
<websocket:message-broker
application-destination-prefix="/app">
<websocket:stomp-endpoint path="/hello">
<websocket:sockjs />
</websocket:stomp-endpoint>
<websocket:simple-broker prefix="/topic" />
</websocket:message-broker>
</beans>
My controller class is:
#Controller
public class SwsService {
#MessageMapping("/hello")
#SendTo("/topic/greetings")
public Greeting greeting(HelloMessage message) throws Exception {
return new Greeting("Hello, " + message.getName() + "!");
}
public String getGreeting() {
return "Hello, you are in!";
}
}
The js from which I am calling this is:
var sock = new SockJS("/hello");
sock.onopen = function () {
console.log("open");
};
sock.onclose = function () {
console.log("closed");
};
sock.onmessage = function (message) {
console.log("msg", message);
};
The console output when I run the tomcat:

How can I successfully test it?
Updates
I also tried running the portfolio example from here: https://github.com/rstoyanchev/spring-websocket-portfolio as suggested by #jhadesdev
But it also doesn't help. When I run mvn tomcat7:run, I see following output and open url on browser tells 404.

It stuck there and doesn't go ahead.

I was facing the same problem. This thread gave me enough clues to solve the problem. Thanks a lot.
SOLUTION:
In case you have a Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet configured in your web.xml and mapped to a url-pattern as shown below
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/webui/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then you have to create the SockJS instance as shown below
var socket = new SockJS('/contextPath/webui/hello');
NOTE: Replace contextPath with your application context path.

This Chrome extension can help you test Websockets.
Also you can have a look at my simple-chat project that uses Spring Boot with Websockets.

Try adding an assets folder inside webapp, where all the stomp and sockjs.js files are made available. Have a look at this example of a running application, that can be run with mvn clean install jetty:run.
The problem seems to be that either the sockjs is not on the server or some path is wrong. Based on the example on the link, a stomp endpoint can be configured like this:
#EnableWebSocketMessageBroker
public class WebSocketConfig extends AbstractWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer {
#Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/portfolio").withSockJS();
}
}
Then in javascript the end point can be called like this:
var socket = new SockJS('/spring-websocket-portfolio/portfolio')
var stompClient = Stomp.over(socket);
where /spring-websocket-portfolio is the root deployment path of your application.

Your application looks fine.
You should definitely prefix JavaScript requests with the root context of your application, as jhadesdev mentioned.
Does your application registers additional filters or customize messageconverters? Maybe some other element of configuration is interfering here.
The latest portfolio example should definitely work, here are some questions:
Could you tell us more about your client setup (browser, version)?
Does your browser support websocket (test it there)?
Could you also try in incognito mode (maybe a 3rd party browser extension is at fault here)?
Could you check that your browser is not using a HTTP proxy for localhost requests?
Could you check if this HTTP 404 is in Tomcat access log? (and see if you've got something interesting in those or in catalina.out?)

How is your DispatcherServlet mapped? Here might be what you're looking for

I solved this problem in thats way:
when you create the SockJS add localhost:8080/
like this
new SockJS('http://localhost:8080/spring-websocket-portfolio/portfolio')

For me the solution was to enable SockJS in by WebSocketConfig class:
#Override
public void registerStompEndpoints(StompEndpointRegistry registry) {
registry.addEndpoint("/search")
.setAllowedOrigins("*")
.setHandshakeHandler(new DefaultHandshakeHandler())
.withSockJS();
}

mvn tomcat:run terminates

When I call 'mvn tomcat:run' from my project, it starts up, then closes down immediately after a successful startup:

Any idea what could cause it to shut down right away? No System.exit's anywhere in the code
Cheers

One possible reason is if fork parameter is set to true.
