I'm using GlassFish 3.1 on Mac.
I did a clean GlassFish installation. I created a simple WAR with a index.jsp like so:
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>GlassFish JSP Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p/>
The current time is: <%= new java.util.Date().toString() %>
</body>
</html>
I want to deploy my WAR in the root context so I'll see it when I visit http://localhost:8080/
My sun-web.xml looks like this (note the context-root tag):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Application Server 9.0 Servlet 2.5//EN" "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_2_5-0.dtd">
<sun-web-app error-url="">
<context-root>/</context-root>
<class-loader delegate="true"/>
<jsp-config>
<property name="keepgenerated" value="true">
<description>Keep a copy of the generated servlet class java code.</description>
</property>
</jsp-config>
</sun-web-app>
Using the admin UI at http://localhost:4848, I deploy the WAR file and specific in the UI that "context root" is "/".
The app deploys, and everything works. I can see my hello world page at http://localhost:8080/ and I can use the admin UI at http://localhost:4848
The problem happens when I undeploy my app. I undeploy the web app using the admin UI, and I see this error in the UI:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report
message
descriptionThe server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception
java.lang.NullPointerException
note The full stack traces of the exception and its root causes are available in the GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1 logs.
GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1
And I see the following in the server.log (at the bottom of this message because it's long).
At this point I cannot browse to my web app at http://localhost:8080 and I cannot browse to the admin UI at http://localhost:4848. When I try to browse to the web UI I just get a 'page not found'.
Everything is broken until I stop and restart the GlassFish server from the command line. Then I can hit the admin UI again, and the hello world app is still in the list of applications but in a disabled state. When I undeploy it now it just cleanly disappears.
The problem only happens when I specific context root "/". What am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
