How to to autodeploy war file with GlassFish — from “Core JavaServerFaces” by David Geary, Cay S. Horstmann

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10147995

Question

Naive question, but this is my first step in JSF, so forgive me ;-)

I am following all the steps of the first example from "Core JavaServerFaces" by David Geary, Cay S. Horstmann (the 3rd edition).

What works in general:

  • java works
  • glassfish works
  • I can compile the attached code
  • I can create .war file

The problem begins when I copy the war file into autodeploy subdirectory of GlassFish and try to show the appropriate page in GF. In return I get 404 error and in logs I find this:

Selecting file /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/login.war for autodeployment.

Module type not recognized for module /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/applications/login

There is no installed container capable of handling this application login

Autodeploy failed : /opt/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy/login.war.

glassfish 3.1.2, java 1.6.0_29, opensuse 11.4.

The question is how to make this code work?

Solution

Your WAR file is broken.

Package it up in the web folder instead. WEB-INF should be in the root.
