Errors using ext environment

[Danny N, modificado hace 15 años.]

Greetings,

I've downloaded and installed the liferay 5.2.2 with tomcat 6 bundle. I've also downloaded and the ext directory.
I've imported the project into eclipse and configured it so that it works the tomcat from the bundle.

If I start tomcat.... it works fine.

If I run "ant deploy" on the build.xml file in the ext environment and then restart tomcat, I get errors during startup and liferay no longer works.

I am using OOTB (no customizations yet).


Here's a snapshot of the tomcat errors:

Hi, Danny,

First please make usre which Tomcat you are using. Version 5.5 or Version 6.0?

You are supposed to create a "app.server.${user.name}.properties" file in the ext/ directory. The content of this file is different for Tomcat 5.5 from that for Tomcat 6.0.

Before you deploy the EXT environment, you should get this file correct.

Hi Xinsheng,

Thanks for the quick reply. I've verified and in my I am using tomcat 6.
I also have the "app.server.${user.name}.properties" file.

In my file I only have these two lines..... is this correct? (should I have more?)

##
## Server Type
##

app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.tomcat.dir=C:/liferay/tomcat_6

[Xinsheng Chen, modificado hace 15 años.]

Hi, Danny,

Please try this for the "app.server.${user.name}.properties" file:

app.server.type=tomcat
app.server.parent.dir=C:/liferay_tomcat_installations/liferay-portal-tomcat-6.0-5.2.2/liferay-portal-5.2.2
app.server.tomcat.version=6.0
app.server.tomcat.dir=${app.server.parent.dir}/tomcat-6.0.18
app.server.tomcat.classes.global.dir=${app.server.tomcat.dir}/lib
app.server.tomcat.lib.endorsed.dir=${app.server.tomcat.dir}/lib/ext
app.server.tomcat.lib.global.dir=${app.server.tomcat.dir}/lib/ext
app.server.tomcat.lib.support.dir=${app.server.tomcat.dir}/lib/ext
app.server.tomcat.support.dir=${app.server.tomcat.dir}/lib/ext

Robert,

I've tried your suggestion but still receive the same error. I noticed that if I delete the ext-impl.jar file from my tomcat WEB-INF/lib
directory it starts up just fine.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

thanks.

Hi, Danny,

Please try this:

Go to ext/ext-impl/ directory and run "ant build-service".
Then "ant deploy" the EXT environment.

Try and see if it works. My deployment of the EXT environment has been working so far.

If that does not work, try to use jre 6.0 to run liferay-tomcat, if you are not using jre 6.0.

[Danny N, modificado hace 15 años.]

Still doesn't work for me.

I will try re-downloading and installing everything again.


Thanks for your help.

[S L B, modificado hace 15 años.]

I'm having this same problem. I started from scratch and then tried to delete all the sample report portlet and service stuff out of my ext dir, but I can't seem to expunge all the references. I don't want this stuff to deploy, but it doesn't seem like I have a choice.

[Wilson Man, modificado hace 15 años.]

when you remove the Reports from EXT, do you have something else created (like another service/portlet)? I think there needs to be at least one service/portlet in the EXT environment to work correctly. So the Reports portlet is kinda like a place-holder.

If you do have another portlet/service in your EXT environment, then it may just be that there are still references to that portlet somewhere that isn't cleaned up. What have you removed so far?

[S L B, modificado hace 15 años.]

I'm developing a hook, a job, and a filter right now, not portlets or services (yet). I did a find/grep to locate every single reference in any file to com[./]ext and then I removed them all. When I built clean, deployed, and restarted tomcat, I still got the error. So I gave up and put the sample code back in. I'll just put a comment in our help documents to tell administrators not to use the reports portlet.

[Wilson Man, modificado hace 15 años.]

yeah, i think once you have a custom portlet in your EXT, you can then remove the Reports portlet.

[Wilson Man, modificado hace 14 años.]

you can change its settings so that:

1. only Admins have access to it.
2. modify the view.jsp so that it shows a warning message saying not to use it at all if added accidentally.

[Satish Iyer, modificado hace 14 años.]

Hi Wilson,

Does this seem like a hibernate caching issue?
Would like your opinion on this.

If yes, then could this be worked around with the following?

#
# Uncomment these properties to disable Hibernate caching.
#
hibernate.cache.provider_class=org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider
hibernate.cache.use_query_cache=false
hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache=false

Wilson Man:

you can change its settings so that:

1. only Admins have access to it.
2. modify the view.jsp so that it shows a warning message saying not to use it at all if added accidentally.

[Satish Iyer, modificado hace 14 años.]

As an update, I could overcome this only by starting with a new tomcat + liferay installation

[Satish Iyer, modificado hace 14 años.]

Would like to know how you managed to resolve this.

I'm facing the same situation, only difference being, I had deployed a custom service modeled on the 'reports' ext-service/impl.
Despite doing a 'clean' and 'deploy' and removing all references to the custom service, I get an exception that tries to refer to the class.
Even had me try using a new database, to no avail.
