WAS7- Exception when deploying EAR.

WAS7- org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException


org.apache.axis2.deployment.WarBasedAxisConfigurator <init> org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException


Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadExceptionat java.lang.Throwable.<init>(Throwable.java:80)at java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.<init>(ClassNotFoundException.java:76)

Above is the exception which I was getting with my WAS7 server when deploying the war. I was so sure that there is no jar or any file missing. There was also no conflict with jars. Select 


Finally I did some hit an trail. Did some changes in application.xml (Java EE> Open WebSphere Application Server Deployment) and changed the class-loader mode to PARENT_LAST, and also set the WAR class-loader policy in the WebSphere deployment editor to ‘APPLICATION’.

and poof! my exception was gone and I was able to run my WAS7 server without any exception.

Select Java EE > Open WebSphere Application Server Deployment.

Expand the Application section. 

Eclipse blinks and disappear

Tomcat not starting from eclipse

I had problem with starting Tomcat from eclipse  Even though there is no log errors. When I launched from the command line using run.sh or starts from 'services', it seems to be working fine. But if i use eclipse (with or without app) tomcat wouldn't start and gives me 404 error.

I solved this problem by performing the following steps-

1. In Eclipse, go to the 'Servers' tab.

2. Double click on the server.
3. A configuration overview should be displayed in the main Eclipse panel.
4. Under the sub-section 'Server Locations', select the radio button 'Use Tomcat  Installation'. (It was 'Use workspace metadata' which was causing me  

5. Save the configuration (you should be prompted to do so anyway).
6. Restart your server, and you should find localhost:8080 works from within the Eclipse browser.
                   

Hope it helps.
