Attribute location of element springBootApplication is ignored - spring-boot

I'm following the Containerizing, packaging, and running a Spring Boot application guide. After getting it to run, I want to use my own Spring Boot application. So I took my jar, put it into the target directory and updated the server.xml file accordingly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server description="new server">
<featureManager>
<feature>servlet-4.0</feature>
<feature>springBoot-2.0</feature>
</featureManager>
<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint"
host="*"
httpPort="9080"
httpsPort="9443" />
<springBootApplication id="guide-spring-boot"
location="myOwnApp.jar"
name="guide-spring-boot" />
<!--springBootApplication id="guide-spring-boot"
location="thin-guide-spring-boot-0.1.0.jar"
name="guide-spring-boot" /-->
</server>
Alas, after restarting the Open Liberty server this configuration seems to be totally ignored and my application is not started.

IBM Liberty Profile Context Root Not Found

I've deployed a spring application to IBM Liberty Profile. Both of the server and the application starts without problem, but when I would like to reach the application the browser says "Context Root Not Found"
I've configured the application in several ways in the server.xml
<application location="d:/Work/Installed Liberty Applications/OFRAdminEAR/OFRAdmin.ear"
name="OFRAdmin"
security-role="false"
id="OFRAdmin"
type="ear">
<classloader apiTypeVisibility="spec,ibm-api,api" privateLibraryRef="WebspherePlugins, OFRAdminsSharedLibrary"/>
</application>
<enterpriseApplication location="d:/Work/Installed Liberty Applications/OFRAdminEAR/OFRAdmin.ear"
id="OFRAdmin"
name="OFRAdmin"
security-role="false"
type="ear">
<classloader privateLibraryRef="WebspherePlugins, OFRAdminsSharedLibrary" />
</enterpriseApplication>
<webApplication location="d:/Work/Installed Liberty Applications/OFRAdminEAR/OFRAdmin.ear"
id="OFRAdmin"
name="OFRAdmin"
security-role="false"
type="war">
<classloader privateLibraryRef="WebspherePlugins, OFRAdminsSharedLibrary" />
</webApplication>
The application packed into an ear file, which contains a WAR file and META-INF folder with the application.xml. The application.xml looks like this.
<application-name>OFRAdmin</application-name>
<display-name>OFRAdmin</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>OFRAdmin.war</web-uri>
<context-root>OFRAdmin</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
What I missed? Where should I set the context root of the application? Can anybody help me?

Spring-based web application fails at startup on WAS Liberty

I'm writing a simple Spring-based web application and deploy it to Websphere Liberty 8.5.5.9. The deployment fails because the application start fails. The message in console.log is
[ERROR ] CWWKZ0002E: An exception occurred while starting the application userSetting.
The exception message was: com.ibm.ws.container.service.metadata.MetaDataException:
com.ibm.wsspi.adaptable.module.UnableToAdaptException:
com.ibm.ws.javaee.ddmodel.DDParser$ParseException: CWWKC2262E: The server is
unable to process the 3.1 version and the http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee namespace
in the /META-INF/web-fragment.xml deployment descriptor on line 23.
The last part of the message makes now sense since I don't hav /META-INF or /WEB-INF in the Eclipse project for the application, since I'm deploying with Gradle: gradle clean build deploy.
I've tried all kinds of modifications to the project and, in desperation, I've cut it down to only have the following source code:
#SpringBootApplication
public class UserSettingApplication {
private static final LoggerUtils logger = new LoggerUtils( UserSettingApplication.class );
public static void main(String[] args) {
logger.debug( "Entering UserSettingApplication.main()" );
SpringApplication.run(UserSettingApplication.class, args);
}
}
Can you please advise me how to fix this service start-up problem?

</server>
This error appears to be caused by some of your build tooling generating a web-fragment.xml with a Servlet 3.1 schema.
Currently, you have the jsp-2.2 feature enabled, which by default enables servlet-3.0.
To fix the problem, I would recommend upgrading from jsp-2.2 to jsp-2.3 (which will pull in servlet-3.1), or adding <feature>webProfile-7.0</feature> to just enable all of the Java EE 7 web profile features (servlet, JPA, bean validation, cdi, jsf, etc).
So your new server.xml could look like this:
<server description="new server">
<!-- Enable features -->
<featureManager>
<feature>jsp-2.3</feature>
<feature>adminCenter-1.0</feature>
</featureManager>
<!-- rest of file unchanged.... -->

Websphere Liberty AdminCenter login does not work when custom JAAS context is defined

I am new to WebSphere Liberty profile. I am working on 17.0.0.4 version. What I am trying to achieve is to have custom JAAS login setup for the application. The application works fine on WebSphere 8.5.
I have reviewed so many link from IBM Knowledge Center for the same, but got result with either or with JAAS custom login, but not both of them together. With WebSphere 8.5 we are having level of hierarchy to decide which authentication mechanism goes where, but with Liberty if I setup Custom JAAS authentication mechanism then I can't login to WebSphere Liberty AdminCenter, and if I configure server.xml for , then it does not authenticate my application's user (because it is designed to get authenticate users via JAAS).
Here is my server.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server description="new server">

Can anyone please point out where I am making mistake?
If you are using custom JAAS login module, then your custom JAAS login module need to ignore the admin center authentication and let the default login modules handle it.
The better option is to use custom TAI to handle application authentication and let the default login modules handle the admin center authentication.
Regards,
Ut Le
Many many thanks Ut Le for providing solution.
From the log file, found that the root cause was ClassNotFound exception. It does not have class which I was pointing to from <jaasLoginModule>. Later on found that I was pointing to jar file which is not at that location. So that was a silly mistake I made for configuration.

Unable to use JCA CICS resource with IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile

I'm trying to setup WLP for an existing EAR application.
This setup works fine with WAS 9 traditional.
The problem is the JCA CICS Resource Adapter call.
The server.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server description="new server">
<!-- Enable features -->

</application>
</server>
in ibm-web-bnd.xml :
<resource-ref name="cicsjca" binding-name="jca/CTGDV06"></resource-ref>
in web.xml :
<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_Cics_Jca">

<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
Startup is Ok, but access to JCA fail with :
java.lang.Exception: Lookup for java:comp/env/cicsjca failed. Exception: javax.naming.NamingException: CWNEN1001E: The object referenced by the java:comp/env/cicsjca JNDI name could not be instantiated. If the reference name maps to a JNDI name in the deployment descriptor bindings for the application performing the JNDI lookup, make sure that the JNDI name mapping in the deployment descriptor binding is correct. If the JNDI name mapping is correct, make sure the target resource can be resolved with the specified name relative to the default initial context.
[Root exception is com.ibm.wsspi.injectionengine.InjectionException: CWNEN0030E: The server was unable to obtain an object instance for the java:comp/env/cicsjca reference. The exception message was: CWNEN1003E: The server was unable to find the jca/CTGDV06 binding with the javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory type for the java:comp/env/cicsjca reference.]
I don't understand what's wrong with this setup, any help would be apreciated !
The correct configuration depends on how many connection factory implementations are provided by the resource adapter.
If the resource adapter provides only a single connection factory (which is commonly the case for many resource adapters), then configuration would be:
<connectionFactory id="CTGDV06" jndiName="jca/CTGDV06" >
<properties.eciResourceAdapter
connectionUrl="tcp://*******"
serverName="*******"
userName="*******"
portNumber="2006"
/>
</connectionFactory>
Full detail on how to specify configuration for JCA resource adapters in Liberty can be found here in the knowledge center.

WebSphere Liberty Profile: Context Root Not Found

Remove <virtual-host name="tlc_host"/> from your ibm-web-ext.xml file. As you dont have tlc_host, but default_host.
Context Root Not found is caused due to issue in one of the config files.
In my case, web.xml had an unclosed comment due to which the war was not built correctly.
This resulted in EAR file not updating.
Solution:
Compare you web.xml with previous versions to see what changed.
Add war to the server instead of the ear file to see the error. (If Running on Liberty Server)
