Problem

Unable to deploy to either MyEclipse Tomcat 7 or external Tomcat 7. In either case, I right-click on the server, Add Deployments, add my project (exploded). For internal tomcat I updated server.xml to add global naming resources and my host. In both cases I then right-click on server to Publish.

Error message is

Publishing failed
Could not publish to the server.
java.lang.NullPointerException
Could not publish to the server.
java.lang.NullPointerException

Error log has this:

!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.wst.server.core 4 0 2015-04-08 14:39:21.056

I have environment variables defined for both CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE.
I can start tomcat as a windows service and it starts fine, app runs fine. I can add a Debug Config that uses the external tomcat server, and it runs fine, but I cannot publish to it. I have to manually add vm arguments and jar files to get it to run, and manually point it to my source code. This is a big pain of a workaround. This app runs fine in MyE 2014 and earlier. This is a *huge* pain and regression in behavior, seriously considering switching to another IDE after years of using MyE. Already wasted 2 days on this nonsense. Someone help, please.

Mike,

I am really sorry that your recent experience with MyEclipse has been so frustrating! I am sure we will be able to put you back on dev track quickly. From the stack trace, my guess is that your server.xml configuration file is somehow malformed (missing/broken <Host> element) and connector cannot locate information related to auto-deployment folder. If so, we will correct MyEclipse to better inform users about such a situation in the future. However, please send us your server.xml file, so that I can make sure that this is exactly the case and I could also help you to correct the file in such a case. On the other hand, if it would turn out that this is indeed a bug with MyEclipse, which blocks your work, we will provide you with a patch, so that you can start working ASAP 🙂

[tl9222]

I met the same problem before, and I solve it with following steps:

Try Right click on the “MyEclipse” icon, and use “Open with administrator privileges” to open MyEclipse.

Then I could deploy the Web Project from MyEclipse to the Tomcat.

The reason for my problem is that I setup my MyEclipse and it’s workspace(that is where the Web Project is ) on C Disk, which need administrator privileges to deploy Project.

In order to aviod this inconvenient open step(I mean evertime have to open MyEclipse with Right click for administrator privileges), I finally resetup MyEclipse from C Disk to D disk(which is not the System Dick).Also I put Tomcat away from C Disk(I’m not sure whether tomcat should be away from C Disk if not use administrator privileges to deploy).

Hope this could be help.

Thanks for the information! Let’s see if it helps Mike.

Thanks very much for the suggestion to run as admin, however it did not work for me.

Piotr’s suggestion to check the server.xml did lead me to a solution using the MyEclipse Tomcat v7.0 server. I had to modify the Host entry from what we had been using (an absolute path to appBase and a custom host name) to simply appBase=”webapps” and name=”localhost”. I also had to configure the runtime environment for this server, manually adding all the jars from the embedded tomcat core plugin’s lib directory (having to do this step seems very odd, shouldn’t embedded tomcat know about it’s own jar lib?) After that, everything started working.

However, the same procedure did not work for external tomcat. The error that it gives now is:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core 4 0 2015-04-09 11:42:40.072

Other weirdness:

* To get the “Store server configuration files in the workspace” option to be enabled on the external tomcat 7, I had to open the Server Overview page, attempt to start the server, then the checkbox was no longer disabled.

* There is no Save button on the Server Overview page. To get the “Store server configuration files in the workspace” settings to save, I had to close the page, and was then presented with “Tomcat v7.0 Server at … has been modified. Save changes?”

I would like to have the option to run my app on external tomcat, in case I want to use a different version than comes embedded with MyE. I would also like the option to run more than one host, with different host names. I can’t get either of these things to work in MyE 2015 without setting up a separate Debug configuration for the external tomcat server, a cumbersome process.

I’d appreciate any assistance you can provide. I’ve attached my server.xml files, one is the working one for embedded tomcat, the other is the non-working one for external tomcat.

Mike,

I am glad it started to work with at least Embedded Tomcat. I need some time to investigate this issue further; you can expect something tomorrow. I hope I will be able to reproduce your issues and come up with the solution for external Tomcat as well.

To get the “Store server configuration files in the workspace” option to be enabled on the external tomcat 7, I had to open the Server Overview page, attempt to start the server, then the checkbox was no longer disabled.

Actually, you just have to invoke publish on the server. The server has to be published with no modules present so that there are no issues when you change configuration location. I will note down to make it more clear.

There is no Save button on the Server Overview page. To get the “Store server configuration files in the workspace” settings to save, I had to close the page, and was then presented with “Tomcat v7.0 Server at … has been modified. Save changes?”

Server configuration is just another editor, so the save button is on toolbar and in menu Edit- > Save.

I would also like the option to run more than one host, with different host names.

I don’t recall such an option in any version of ME. That’s an interesting use case and I will file this as an enhancement. I’ll let you know when the feature is complete.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or issues!

[support-piotr]

Mike,

I am sorry, but I have not been able to start debugging your issue due to other high priority tasks. I hope to get to this in 2 or 3 days. In any case I will keep you posted on the progress.

[support-swapna]

Mike,

The fix for the issue with publishing on Tomcat is out with our latest CI release, MyEclipse 2015 CI 13.
We have also added ‘Remove any modules and publish’ button besides the message ‘Server must be published with no modules present to make any changes to this section’ in the Tomcat Overview page.

Please go to Help > Check for Updates and update to CI 13.

Let us know if you see any issues.

It is probably caused by previous bad deployment. Here is the solution:

Right click MyEclipse Tomcat–>Add/Remove Deployments–>Remove the previous bad deployment–>Restart Tomcat
