I have been working on a Java web application and i am using SmartGwt on Netbeans 7.3 and out of a sudden I encountered this problem. I tried cleaning the
One of the main reason for this error is due to permission not granted to all users. so remove this error, follow the following steps :
1) Go to the C:/Programme Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 7.0
2) Right click on the Tomcat 7.0 folder and click on properties.
3) go to Security Tab.
4) Select the User and click on Edit... button
5) Grant all the permission to the user and click on apply and ok.
Refresh the system and now try. I hope it will work
may its so late but the response useful for others so :
Sometimes, when you don't specify a server or servlet container at the
creation of the project, NetBeans fails to create a context.xml
file.
META-INF
. Do this by right mouse button clicking on Web pages, and select:
New->Other->Other->File Folder
Name the folder META-INF
. Case is important, even on Windows.
context.xml
in the META-INF
folder. Do this by right mouse button clicking on the new META-INF
folder, and
select:
New->Other->XML->XML
Document
Name it context (NetBeans adds the .xml
)
Select Well-formed Document
Press Finish
Edit the new document (context.xml
), and add the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/app-name"/>
Replace app-name with the name of your application.
Now your in-place deployment should work. If not, make sure that the file can be read by everyone.
The context.xml
file is specific to Tomcat. For more information about
that file, see the Tomcat documentation at tomcat.apache.org
.
Take a look at the server logs!
I had been with this for hours. The awful Tomcat servlet is not very helpful neither but if you can see the stacktrace that should be enough.
For instance, I read the following error message there:
As you can see, the message was pretty clear and easy to fix :-)
If you add jars in tomcat's lib folder you can see this error
Start your IDE with administrative privilege( Windows: right click and run as admin), so that it has read write access to tomact folder for deployment. It worked for me.
