Issue running a spring 3 app on tomcat - spring

I am using Spring Tool Suite with as server VMware vFabric tc Server Developer but I have to change for tomcat6.
There isn't any errors or exceptions when I launch the app but I can't access it because of a 404 error from tomcat.
Here are the logs

Someone would know what's wrong with tomcat or the config ?
Thank you

The context path for your application has been changed. Follow this link
How to change context root of a dynamic web project in Eclipse?
Set the context path to URI which is the entry point of your application or which is working in VMware vFabric tc Server.
Undeploy the application from Tomcat and deploy it again.

What's the difference between WebappClassLoader and StandardJarScanner?

I'm using the tomcat7-maven-plugin to launch a web application from Maven during the pre-integration-test lifecycle phase so that I can run tests against it locally during the integration-test phase.
I haven't worked much on the web application itself, but for the record it uses JSP and Java controllers which are tied together using Spring MVC 3.0.
When I run Maven (mvn clean verify) on my own machine I see the following output for the plugin:

This is working as expected. Note that WebappClassLoader.validateJarFile is called. Also note that the APR info message is expected since we aren't using these libraries in the test environment.

// Hundreds more FileNotFoundExceptions for JAR files.
This is not working. Note that this time StandardJarScanner.scan is called. Also note that the missing JAR files appear to have been created during the build on my local machine at the same relative path (11 directories out from webapps and 5 more into the target directory). I believe all of these JAR files are for third-party Maven dependencies.
I've read the official JavaDocs, but I can't find a helpful description of the WebappClassLoader or the StandardJarScanner. All I can really gather is that they're both used for loading classes from JAR files when Tomcat starts up.
What I'd like to know:
What are WebappClassLoader and StandardJarScanner specifically being used for in this context?
What are the key differences between WebappClassLoader and StandardJarScanner?
What sort of configuration could be different on the build server that causes it to use the StandardJarScanner instead of the WebappClassLoader when running Maven there (All of the environment variables and Maven parameters which I know of are already the same)?
have a look at this issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOMCAT-239
Sounds like some weird paths from jenkins, I can't figure out why..
WebAppClassLoader and StandardJarScanner are apples and oranges. StandardJarScanner always runs before WebAppClassLoader but only produces log statements if something goes wrong. This means that the StandardJarScanner log statements were appearing at the same point in the failing build as the WebAppClassLoader log statements in the passing build.
Since I was mis-reading these log statements I ended up asking the wrong question. My original problem still stands. I've opened a new question for it at Why is Tomcat throwing FileNotFoundExceptions for existing JAR files?.

Liferay startup takes way too long

I'm new to Liferay developing and I’m facing troubles with the startup of my Liferay Tomcat server. It takes almost 3 minutes (169048 ms) which is unacceptable for development. I’d like to get it down to about one minute.
Here are the specs of my machine:
Intel Core Duo T2300 # 1.66GHz
4GB RAM (3.24GB in use)
Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit with Service Pack 1
I’m using:
Liferay 6.1.1-ce-ga2 bundled with Tomcat 7
Eclipse IDE Juno Release
In order to speed things up, I’ve:
removed all unnecessary portlets from the tomcat\webapps folder.
put the Tomcat native library 1.1.24 in the tomcat\bin folder
tweaked my portal-ext.properties as shown below
#disable some filters
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.cas.CASFilter = false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.ntlm.NtlmFilter = false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.ntlm.NtlmPostFilter = false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.sso.opensso.OpenSSOFilter= false
com.liferay.portal.sharepoint.SharepointFilter = false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.gzip.GZipFilter = false
#disable indexing
index.on.startup=false
Here’s my startup log:

Any suggestions?
The comments already gave some hints. I'd say, the most important issue is to check if virtual memory (paging) is used - as soon as the OS has to page memory to disk, you have lost: There's a potentially huge performance hit.
When you upgrade your memory (e.g. if you hit the virtual memory) you might want to consider upgrading the OS to a 64bit OS - 32bit can only address 4G and you might hit limits with appserver memory as each process can only get a limited amount of memory.
You could also test if Liferay starts up faster before you run so many other applications - this is another hint that you're running into a memory issue.
The SSD option will further accelerate your system, but for a much higher price than RAM. Also, virtual memory on SSD is not really recommended - it will wear out the drive quicker. And instead of using virtual memory on SSD, rather don't use virtual memory - this will be quicker AND cheaper.
This problem is solved by upgrading to Liferay 7.
While Liferay 7 does not start faster, developers really never need to restart it, as everything can be overridden by deploying new OSGi components. That is actually the biggest difference between Liferay 6 and Liferay 7.
I have been developing for Liferay 7 for 3 months, including very deep customization (for instance intercepting all file reads for audit), and have never needed to restart the Liferay server.
The server speed depends so much on a well configured JVM (memory, garbage collector type, etc) and Tomcat connector thread pool. depending of available server resources. Liferay provide a recommended configuration:
`-server -XX:NewSize=1024m -XX:MaxNewSize=1024m -Xms4096m
-Xmx4096m -XX:MetaspaceSize=300m -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=300m
-XX:SurvivorRatio=12 –XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=90 –
XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=15 -XX:+UseLargePages
-XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=256m -XX:+UseParNewGC
-XX:ParallelGCThreads=16 -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+CMSCompactWhenClearAllSoftRefs
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=85 -XX:+CMSScavengeBeforeRemark
-XX:+UseLargePages -XX:LargePageSizeInBytes=256m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:-UseBiasedLocking
-XX:+BindGCTaskThreadsToCPUs -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods
-XX:InitialCodeCacheSize=32m -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=96m`
The above JVM settings should formulate a starting point for your
performance tuning. Each system’s final parameters will vary due to a variety of
factors including number of current users and transaction speed.
In tomcat servers you define this configuration like CATALINA_OPTS environment variable in /[tomcat_server]/bin/setenv.[sh or bat] file.

How to fix this Spring MVC startup exception in tomcat?

Could somebody help me with this error regarding starting Tomcat + spring ?
I already clean everything, and when I go to localhost:8080/springmvc/hello_world.html I got a 404 page error.
Thank you so much guys.

if you found page 404, then it might the hello_world.htm page not found.
The easiest way to start is to put in the startup page as index.html so page can be loded in from contex root.
Based on your log output your application is not deploying. Are you sure you added your project to your server? I'm assuming you are using Eclipse. Right click on your Server and select Add / Remove. Your application should be under the configured.

How do I configure this Spring project correctly?

Me and my team are trying to setup a Spring project, and would like to implement REST services. But when I try to deploy it to tomcat 7, I get an error. Here is the output:

I have tried Googling javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Resource /WEB-INF/classes not found without luck. I am guessing the project was not deployed at all.
The project is hosted on this GitHub repo.
Deployment descriptor
The REST controller
I have added a very simple method for testing my application: getBaz(), which I guess would be invoked at localhost:8080/niths/rest/baz.
I am having a hard time figuring out what is missing as this is my first Spring project, and would therefore be grateful if someone skilled in the arts of Spring would point out what's the problem!
From your pom.xml file, it seems that you excluded your classes and libs from the generated war :
<warSourceExcludes>WEB-INF/classes/**,WEB-INF/lib/**</warSourceExcludes>
Try again by removing this line.

SpringSource Tool Suite - can't run a Spring Template Project

I'm trying to learn about Spring using SpringSource Tool Suite. I haven't had much successful experience with either at this stage.
So far I've been able to install STS and create a new project, but haven't gotten much further. The problem seems to occur when running the application on the tc Server. I'll run through the steps I've taken and perhaps someone can point out where I'm going wrong. For the record, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.
I installed STS using the this link, which I found on the
SpringSource Tool Suite Download page.
During installation of STS, I chose to install in my home folder
/home/luke/springsource. I left all of the packs selected:
SpringSource Tool Suite 2.8.0.RELEASE; vFabric tc Server
2.6.1.RELEASE; Spring Roo 1.1.5.RELEASE; Apache Maven 3.0.3
When selecting the JDK path, I chose /usr/lib/jvm/default-java, which
links to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk.
The installation completes successfully and I launch STS manually by
going to the installation directory
/home/luke/springsource/sts-2.8.0.RELEASE and executing the file STS.
I had to do this to get STS to run despite having checked the box to
run STS now at the end of installation (not sure if that's a real
problem but thought it'd be worth mentioning).
I choose my workspace
/home/luke/Documents/workspace-sts-2.8.0.RELEASE and clicked OK. So
far so good?
In the dashboard I click Create > Spring Template Project.
In the following dialog I click Spring MVC Project and click Next,
then agree to download.
In the Project Settings dialog, I give the project a name, springmvc,
and a valid top-level package, then click Finish.
I can now see my newly created project in the Package Explorer, as
well as a Servers folder, plus the VMware vFabric tc Server Developer
Edition v2.6 in the Server window.
I drag the project to the server in the Server window and the project
appears there with a [Synchronized] status. I then right-click the
project in the Package Explorer and click Run As > Run on Server.
The aforementioned server is there and selected, so I click Next. The
project I created is in the Configured section of the next screen, so
I click Finish. I'm asked if I want to use Spring Insight, so I click
Yes and the server starts up.
Here's where the big trouble begins.
I get the following output to the console and a 404 message in the
browser window, which is pointed at http://localhost:8080/springmvc/

Any help in deciphering this, figuring out a solution and pointing out what I'm doing wrong here in what seems like a very simple use case of STS, would be greatly appreciated.
ditto Ralph.
selected the top level project, went to
Run As > Maven Clean
Run As > Maven Install
Run As > Run on Server
and it went through correctly. I'm not sure why it was failing on the first place though, or why installing it twice fixes it.
Looks like the Project is not correct deployed to the server.
The context menu, for the server contains a option to clean it. After you have clean it use the same context menu and publish the application.
Then try it again.
(An other cause for this problem can be that there is a compiler failure.)
