Deploying Saiku UI on Glassfish

Question

When I try to deploy saiku-ui-2.4.war to Glassfish I get

"There is no installed container capable of handling this application ROOT. Please see server.log for more details."

The server.log shows:

[#|2013-08-16T17:50:36.595-0400|SEVERE|oracle-glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.system.core.com.sun.enterprise.v3.server|_ThreadID=24;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|There is no installed container capable of handling this application ROOT|#]

[#|2013-08-16T17:50:36.610-0400|INFO|oracle-glassfish3.1.2|org.glassfish.admingui|_ThreadID=23;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|Exception Occurred :Error occurred during deployment: There is no installed container capable of handling this application ROOT. Please see server.log for more details.|#]

Any idea how to get around this? I searched Saiku's own forum with no luck. I even have a post on there.

Saiku has a prepared package that comes with Tomcat. Saiku UI is deployed as Tomcat ROOT application. This package works fine but I want to try to deploy it on Glassfish.

What's interesting is Saiku has a download saiku-ui-master. This is a separate UI package that needs node.js installed. I've gotten this to work but I want to run it on Glassfish.

Answer 1

Solved it! Added WEB-INF and web.xml then it deployed with no issue!

Answer 2

Actually you need to unpack content of the saiku-ui.war in docroot of your domain as there is static content only.
