Tomcat – deploying application on tomcat server status is ok but hitting the url throws 404 not found

tomcattomcat6

I have been put in to the project involving Spring, Hibernate, Drools, RabbitMq . Though I have no idea of how drools work in coherence with Spring,Hibernate etc but I need to learn it in no time because the project is all ready functioning and is in production .So for working on it I thought of setting up the system first and then understand and work on the related ticket….

Problem in setting up the system goes like this…

  • I configured tomcat then deployed

  • drools over it drools is up and

  • running I created a category to store.drl file containing rules.

  • Created a package for storing rules

  • uploaded POJO class uploaded the application jar file saved and validated configuration

  • I finally deployed my application jar file on server and made it run

so far everything went smooth..and server also showed no problem but when i am hitting this " http://hostname:port/succor-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT/ " on my address bar i am getting good old scary "404 not found" i went running to catalina.out to check log and to my horror it is not showing any error … I am puzzled and confused … why it is not showing any error in catalina.out if it is throwing 404 on my face…

Best Answer

check for server context in (i think server.xml) it may not like that succor-impl-1.0-SNAPSHOT business in the URL. It could be they are setting "succor" or "somefriendly_name" in server-context.

Thats my shot in the dark!
