Where can I find the exception stack traces in OpenShift Tomcat Cartridge

So I deployed a WAR file containing my jHipster app (Angularjs+Spring boot) on openshift Tomcat 7 Cartridge. I can open reach my application with no problems (the front end) but once I try to login (interaction with the backend) i get an error.
Normally I check the exception stacktrace in the console of Eclipse IDE if I am debugging my application locally.
I checked the logs in app-root/logs/jbossews.log but I only see that my app is deployed logs. like :
INFO: Deploying web application archive /var/lib/openshift/57582f677628e108ba000096/app-root/runtime/dependencies/jbossews/webapps/ROOT.war

Not my application exceptions.
Is there any configuration that I should add to get my application exceptions in the logs ?

Hard to tell without seeing your configuration but there is a "OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR" environment variable in every Openshift gear and you can use that to write your log files to the designated log directory.
Example in your spring-boot application.yml file, you can add
logging:
path: ${OPENSHIFT_LOG_DIR}
file: myApplication.log

IntelliJ - Unable to start Tomcat 8. Starts fine via comand line

I'm a complete noob to IntelliJ and Tomcat 8. I managed to configured Tomcat 7 in IntelliJ in the same manner (as configuring TC8) and it works normally. Also, TC8 works when I start it up using command-line.
Here's what IntelliJ tells me when I try to run TC8:
"Application Server was not connected before run configuration stop,
reason: java.io.IOException: Failed to retrieve RMIServer stub:
javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is

Troubleshoot Eclipse's "Run on server" deploy

I am taking over an existing Struts-based web application and am trying to deploy it for the first time on my local machine. My predecessor told me to run it through Eclipse on a Tomcat server.
I have installed the latest tomcat and it is running fine. I have grabbed the code from their CVS server and, with a few tweaks, removed all of the errors from the Java files. I then created a new Run Configuration having it run as "Run on server".
When I run the Run Config, the tomcat server starts up without error messages in the Console and an Eclipse browser page pops up to the correct local URL. The returned page is a 404, however. Looking at my Tomcat "webaps" folder, I see that my application is not there.
My question is, how can I troubleshoot this? My tomcat error logs do not get updated when I deploy and the Console output, shown below, offers no hint that there is a problem.

This is not the way to run web apps inside Eclipse.
Go to the Server view panel instead, and choose Add server. Here install the Tomcat adapter according to the instructions, and then add the projects you have (if they are Dynamic Web Projects). You can now start and stop the server and have the projects chosen updated when you change.
Do it this way. Do not try to create a Run Configuration launching Tomcat.

I have exactly the same problem.
While this is not a solution to the problem itself (running the project on Tomcat from within Eclipse), it is a way to run the project:
Pack(age) the project (I use maven: 'mvn clean package')
Copy the .war file into the webapps dir inside your tomcat installation.
(if not already running) Start up tomcat.
This works for me. I'm still looking for the proper answer to your question, but until I find it I'll just continue to manually package/deploy the project.

Create web service using Eclipse

I am trying to create my first webservice using eclipse javaEE under Axis2,
i am following this turorial eclipse tutorial
to learn how to make it.I make the webservice but when i want to assure that the ws has been deployed through viewing it through URL, an HTTP status 400 occure. How can I know what is the error??
here what i make exactly:
i make the settings in preferences [ ant , axis2, tomcat and java ].
New -> New dynamic web page
new ->java (I create the class i want to convert to ws)
new ->web service (i want to create bottom up ws).
type http://localhost:8080/Axis2/services/listservices in the url of browser
this what return HTTP Status 404 - /services/listservices
can some one tell me how can i know what is the error? or how can i define it?
EDIT:
an exception happen in the console of eclipse which is :
org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.axis2.transport.http.AxisAdminServlet
what should I do ,in the configuration i specify where is axis2 and eclipse shows
Axis2 runtime loaded successfully
after creating new work space and create webservice again, this is the output appears in console

These is my own post to creating webservice and use that service in android. its
work properly.
Try this once below link

The 404 error occurs because there is nothing at the desired url. So there must have been something wrong with your deployment.
Have you set up a server in eclipse and actually published the WS at all? Note that this is different from running Tomcat from a directory somewhere else on your computer! You can add a server instance by selecting New => Server.
If the server configuration is otherwise correct, the server output should appear in eclipse's console, and if anything is wrong with your WS setup, there should be error messages you can use to track down the problem.

You probably extracted the contents of axis2.war (renamed to app.zip) into the wrong folder or deployed files to the wrong folder. Look for the WEB-INF folder directly under the app.war folder that you deployed. If you have another folder of WEB-INF for the axis2 extracted folders, then JBoss cannot locate them. The WEB-INF folder must be a folder as a 1st level descendant. Along with the following folders: axis2-web, META-INF and org.

Tomcat 6 server - was running, but now it won't start - error in log file -SEVERE: Null component?

I've been running Tomcat 6 on my pc for some time now, and it has been running successfully...up until today. I just tried to start it, and now for some reason it won't start.
I start it from a command line prompt. The second prompt that appears after I enter 'startup' in the first prompt is exiting quickly, whereas it usually stays open and shows the status of the server.
Here's what the log file logged -

I never saw this before, where it says SEVERE: Null component... - what does it mean? What's causing it?

Here's what I ended up doing. I made a backup of my server.xml and web.xml files, along with my apps under the webapps folder, and removed jakarta-tomcat, and then reinstalled it. I restored the server.xml and web.xml file, threw my webapps back in, and started Tomcat up. This time, I got the same error as before, but it pinpointed that a particular servlet under one of my folders had a "bad version number". So I went through my servlet folders and recompiled the classes.
I started Tomcat again, and its running as it used to.
The problem was that a class had been compiled under a different version of the JDK, and it was causing an error.

Have you changed anything recently with regard to your Tomcat installation, configuration or deployments? Do you have a web application running under Tomcat called "MyWebApp"? If so, I would remove it and see if that fixes the problem. Otherwise, you might have to reinstall Tomcat.
