Scalatra example fails to start

Question

I decided to try Scalatra out. But the server does not seem to start, and the commands do not return any errors.

I first got the scalatra project from GitHub:

git clone http://github.com/scalatra/scalatra-sbt-prototype.git

then ran sbt:

java -jar "/path/to/sbt-launch.jar" jetty-run

and got this (after dependencies were downloaded):

[info] Loading project definition from /home/platon/PrF/scalatra/scalatra-sbt-prototype/project
[info] Set current project to scalatra-sbt-prototype (in build file:/home/platon/PrF/scalatra/scalatra-sbt-prototype/)
[info] jetty-7.4.5.v20110725
[info] NO JSP Support for /, did not find org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet
[info] started o.e.j.w.WebAppContext{/,file:/home/platon/PrF/scalatra/scalatra-sbt-prototype/target/webapp/},/home/platon/PrF/scalatra/scalatra-sbt-prototype/target/webapp
[info] Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:8080 STARTING

But at http://localhost:8080, I see nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try this

java -jar "sbt-launch.jar"
jetty-run

That will drop you in the sbt console where you can do jetty-run, otherwise the process starts and stops again immediately
