TomEE and Intellij

Question

I followed this tutorial but at the end I got an 404 Not Found. http://localhost:8080/TomEE_war_exploded/

The requested resource [/TomEE_war_exploded/] is not available

In Intellij I don't see a mistake. The Apache Tomee runs under windows in ~/software/apache-tomee-plume-8.0.11 and the code in ~/playground/TomEE

Unfortuately I'm not able to understand how the war file will be copied to the ~/software/apache-tomee-plume-8.0.11/webapps directory or where the configuration error exists.

From the log file I'm not really sure that the deployment happend correct:

Does anybody see the mistake?

Thanks, Markus

Answer 1

I ran into somewhat similar problem today and after sometime I was able to figure it out that it does not deploy at the following Application Context that is configured under Deployment tab in Run/Debug Configurations.

/TomEE_war_exploded

If you try to access http://localhost:8080/TomEE_war_exploded/, it gives 404.

Instead, (in my case) it is accessible at http://localhost:8080/TomEE-1.0-SNAPSHOT/

Where 1.0-SNAPSHOT is the version number defined in pom.xml.

Now in order to find the exact path where it is deployed, you need to go to Tomcat Web Application Manager at the following address:

http://localhost:8080/manager/html

Replace 8080 with the port number on which TomEE is running on your machine.

Default user & password is tomee.

Look under Path and you'll find it. Just click on it, it will be accessible.

I hope it helps.

EDIT: The Workaround

In order to define your own path, you need to update the path in the Artifact Output Directory. See the attached photo.
