Spring Roo 1.2.2 and Glassfish 3.1.2 deplyment problem

[Narendra Dhande]

Hi all,


I am trying to setup small Spring Roo application. The setup is STS 2.9.2 , Spring Roo 1.2.2 and the glassfish 3.1.2. After creating new Spring Roo project. I issued only follwing command

web mvc setup

The initial application was successfully built and running on the VFbric default server. When I try to depoly the application on Glassfish The deployment error occurs. The Glassfish is configured through the eclipes server adopter in STS. I am not getting any clue what the exact error is. I guess , the error is due to the nio package , which is throwing the NullPointerException. The full error message is as in attatchment

Pl. help

Thanks

That is really strange.

Spring is getting the the charsets for which support is available in the current Java virtual machine by calling a static method in the from the java.nio.Charset class. This is used for configuring the StringHttpMessageConverter.

Your null pointer is coming out of the charset class..

What versions of spring and java are you running? Try to just call this method yourself once and see if you get a null pointer

SortedMap<String,Charset> myCharsets = Charset.availableCharsets();

This may be a bug in Charset or it may be some sort of permission or other IO error causing this. I did find a similar bug but it is quite old. See here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2005-August/004243.html

Hi Bill,

The problem is due to the wrong placement of JDBC jar file. The problem is resolved after correcting the error.

Thanks

[Bill Gorder]

That caused a null pointer in char set? That is a cryptic error for that. Thanks for sharing the solution though.

[Narendra Dhande]

Yes, The database using ISO charset and the application is using UTF-8. May be there is a problem while conversion. Previously I put the jdbc jar files in glassfish/endorsed directory. Now I have shifted them to domain_dir/lib directory. I think the problem is not related exactly to the application, but related to glassfish gizzy framework.
Thanks

Hi!

I know this post is a somewhat old but I am running into the same problem...

I haven't put my jdbc jar in any endorsed directory and yet I get the same issue. Can one of you please elaborate on the solution?

My environment is:

Tomcat 7

Spring 3.2.3

The problem occurs when I run the following tests:

import static com.prosodie.ppptr.testUtils.SecurityRequestPostProcessors.userDetailsService;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockMvcRequestBuilders.get;
import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.result.MockMvcResultMatchers.status;
import static org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner;
import org.springframework.test.context.web.WebAppConfiguration;
import org.springframework.test.web.servlet.MockMvc;
import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext;

import com.prosodie.ppptr.services.AccountService;

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@ContextConfiguration(locations = { "classpath*:spring-config-*.xml",
		"file:src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml" })
public class SecurityTests {

	@Autowired
	private AccountService accountService;

	@Autowired
	private WebApplicationContext wac;

	@Autowired
	private FilterChainProxy springSecurityFilterChain;

	private MockMvc mockMvc;

	@Before
	public void setup() {
		mockMvc = webAppContextSetup(wac).addFilters(springSecurityFilterChain)
				.build();
	}

	@Test
	public void test() throws Exception {
		mockMvc.perform(
				get("/welcome").with(userDetailsService("[e-mail]")))
				.andExpect(status().isForbidden());
	}

	@Configuration
	public static class testConfiguration {
		@Bean
		public AccountService accountService() {
			return mock(AccountService.class);
		}

	}
}

Here is my mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml file:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.2.xsd"> <!-- <context:annotation-config/> --> <mvc:annotation-driven /> <context:component-scan base-package="com.prosodie.ppptr" /> <!-- Internationalization --> <bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver"> <property name="defaultLocale" value="fr" /> </bean> <bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource"> <property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" /> <property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" /> </bean> <mvc:interceptors> <bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor"> <property name="paramName" value="lang" /> </bean> </mvc:interceptors> </beans>

and finally the stacktrace:
