[eclipse] Tomcat is not deploying my web project from Eclipse

I'm developing web application. Everything was working fine till yesterday.

Something happened yesterday (no idea what exactly) and Eclipse is not deploying my application any more.

I'm using spring and maven, but it worked before, so I think there is no problem in this.

When I'm starting my application there is this in startup log:

While I'm using spring, there should be at least context initialization in log.

I read several similar questions here

• Tomcat 7 in Eclipse Indigo: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Resource /WEB-INF/classes not found
• Tomcat started in Eclipse but unable to connect to http://localhost:8085/
• Eclipse : Starting tomcat server from eclipse , does not start the deployed wars
• Where does Eclipse deploy web applications using WTP?
• "SetPropertiesRule" warning message when starting Tomcat from Eclipse
• Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:JSFTut' did not find a matching property

but nothing helped

I tried adding new server to Eclipse, renaming project, cleaning and still it is the same.

When I build it with maven I can deploy it to Tomcat and it works.

Got it :)

Usually caused when eclipse is reffering to another (or in correct web folder, may be webConent)

1. Update .settings/.jsdtscope to have correct entry for webapp, similar to below

2. Update org.eclipse.wst.common.component to have correct entry for webapp

SOLVED: I faced this error and i cant understand, it took 5 hours.

Solution: project properties/Project faced/Dynamic web-module version set to 3.0

after one week ,I got same error

FIXED2 gwt-project-external-mode-main-main-nocache-js-not-found

I have faced this issue and I just removed the server from eclipse and re-configured it... And everything started working fine... I have faced it two three times and the same thing worked.

I fixed this issue, this way:

1. Stop the Server
2. Remove the previous Deploy that You did
3. Clean it
4. Deploy it again

I had the same problem. I fixed it by makinbg the following entry in org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml

<runtime name="Apache Tomcat v7.0" />

Now this complete file looks like -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faceted-project>
    <runtime name="Apache Tomcat v7.0" />
    <fixed facet="wst.jsdt.web" />
    <installed facet="java" version="1.5" />
    <installed facet="jst.web" version="2.3" />
    <installed facet="wst.jsdt.web" version="1.0" />
</faceted-project>

I encountered with same error and resolved it with redeployment after removing deployment.

The only way I found which works for me is adding an entry into the "Web Deployment Assembly"

Project webapp > Properties > Deployment Assembly
Add ...
Source : "/target/classes"
Deploy Path : "WEB-INF/classes"

I have this similar problem where I'm able to start the tomcat server but however application not initialized or started, so I have Right clicked on my project --> Deployment Assembly --> Click 'Add' in the right side panel, select 'Java Build path entries' and click 'Next', Now select 'Maven dependencies' and click 'Finish'. Now I run the server and it started the application successfully.

I tried everything and nothing worked so here is another solution that finally worked (for me).

I had to check Enable Java EE configuration under Preferences -> Maven -> Jave EE configuration

After that you can check that more entries were added in Deployment assemblies of the project settings.

look into org.eclipse.wst.common.component file in your web project in eclipse.

< wb-module deploy-name="PROJECT_NAME">

check the PROJECT_NAME. It might got messed up. Similarly look into .project file.

Hope this helps!!

Depsite the year old topic, this one seems to have the most of the answers for this problem. Just ren into it. Tried everything, starting from "cleans", ending with total ".metadata" and another server setup, and nothing worked.

Than i remembered that a while ago i'w decided to clean up some of the "pom" warnings, and there were some suggestions on "apply to the project data". Then i started to browse the folder project, where i found the source of my headache - a file called ".tomcatplugin". After deleting it(it was the third hour of my attempts of resolving the problem) everything worked like a charm.

Drop server.......... Window -> Show View -> Servers. Click right - > Delete

Click right in the Project Run Configuration

and add Server again......

In my case, I configured an external Maven installation, and I made sure to be using a JDK instead of a JRE (in the eclipse configuration, and in the Server Environment). You can run a Maven Build of the project from eclipse to check everything is working ok.

After that, I updated the maven projects, cleaned and built the projects, cleaned the server, and redeployed the artifacts.

Same problem, not sure why it occurred only after upgrading from Spring v3.2.x to v4.2.x.

Solved it by doing the following:

1. Clear all eclipse files [.classpath, .project, .settings/].
2. Perform >mvn eclipse:eclipse
3. Perform eclipse>project>properties>deployment assembly add [referenced projects, additional classpaths].

Publish and Start the module in Tomcat tab, it now starts properly.

Maybe the deploy Maven assembly in project properties is missing:

I have the same problem, my solution is:

• Install WTP Maven integration (don't know if this is necessary)
• Project -> Run Configurations (Select your tomcat server) -> Run

For a few hours I tried to deploy and start application using Servers window but it didn't worked. My war was not placed in wptwebapps folder, manually deplying war to webapps worked.

Using Run Configurations made my app finally deployable...
