Apache server 6.0.18 error

[Gina vernon]

Hi,
I am trying to run a sample JSF tutorial on eclipse 3.2 on mac osx 10.5. The server comes back with a 'requested resource() not found error. From the server log in console, I found a warning as seen below:


Mar 15, 2009 7:03:00 PM org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.SetPropertiesRule begin
WARNING: [SetPropertiesRule]{Server/Service/Engine/Host/Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:JSFTutorial' did not find a matching property.

Anyone know what this means?

Thanks.

Same warning here, I got rid of it by removing the source property from the context in server.xml.
In my workspace its located at .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0/conf/server.xml
Don't know what feature this source property is for, but tomcat seems to work fine without it.

Hi Nadja,
This did not work on my machine. I made the changes you suggested and when I restarted eclipse and ran the jsp, eclipse popped up a message saying "Problem occured. local-host config missing. server.xml file must have been corrupted."
So, I am back to square one.

I tried to access the URL http://localhost:8080 and I get the same error.

I cannot find the server logs in the Application\Apache\Logs folder. Anyone know if I have to setup logging or if I am looking in the wrong folder.

[Bauke Scholtz]

This warning is caused because you integrated Tomcat in Eclipse. Eclipse uses the 'source' attribute of the <context> tag for own reference. The XML validator in Tomcat doesn't recognize this attribute against the DTD and is thus giving an innocent warning. Nothing to worry about.

Regarding to your actual problem: either the URL is plain wrong, or the resource is wrongly mapped in web.xml, or the resource is actually not there in the webapp structure where you think it is.

Assuming that you want to kickoff with JSF+Eclipse+Tomcat, I can recommend you this article: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/01/jsf-tutorial-with-eclipse-and-tomcat.html

This is by default not possible when you integrate Tomcat in Eclipse. Only the deployed webapps are accessible. You need to configure Tomcat in Eclipse to get access to the Tomcat default homepage. This is also explained in the aforementioned tutorial.

Bauke,
I did as the tutorial recommended and I am now able to access Tomcat's homepage at port 8080, but I still can't run the web application.

I have attached a screenshot of my workspace for this project. I am also inserting the config metadata for JSF & web.xml:

The tomcat logs folder now has 3 files in it, none of them have any information related to the error. But as per the link you provided the console should print out the server logs and I don't see any errors or info there. Here is the console log:

Thanks

You need to place public files in /WebContent, not in /WebContent/WEB-INF.

[Gina vernon]

Thanks, Bauke.
It runs perfectly now. Moved the JSP folder to WebContent folder, updated my navigation rule in face-config.xml to reflect the change.
Thanks once again.

[Bauke Scholtz]

You're welcome.
