I'm attempting to get an existing web application working with 'WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile v8.5 Beta' using the 'IBM WebSphere Liberty Profile Tools for Eclipse'.
I have installed the developer tools for Eclipse as well as the liberty profile runtime by following instructions here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/wasdev/entry/download?lang=en#comment-1321558450546
I then proceed to create the Liberty Profile Server by following the instructions here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/beta/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.websphere.w4d.nd.doc%2Ftopics%2Frw4d_dirs.html
I add my web app to the server and start it with the following console output:
Launching TEST (was4d-1.0.0.20111202-0614/websphere-kernel_1.0.0) on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.6.0_26-b03
Boot properties: file:/home/tbuckley/work/WAS/was4d/usr/servers/TEST/bootstrap.properties
Config document: file:/home/tbuckley/work/WAS/was4d/usr/servers/TEST/server.xml
[AUDIT ] CWWKE0001I: The kernel was launched.
[AUDIT ] CWWKE0002I: The kernel started after 0.91
[AUDIT ] CWWKF0007I: A feature update is starting after 0.92 seconds.
[AUDIT ] CWWKZ0058I: Application monitor started after 1.218 seconds.
[AUDIT ] CWWKO0219I: TCP Channel http-default has been started and is now listening for requests on host localhost (IPv4: 127.0.0.1) port 9080.
[AUDIT ] SRVE9998A: Application myWebApp added to web container.
[AUDIT ] CWWKZ0001I: The application myWebApp has started successfully.
[AUDIT ] CWWKF0008I: The feature update is complete after 2.141 seconds.
When I hit the web app url http://localhost:9080/myWebApp/ via a browser I get a blank page and the following console info:
[ERROR ] SRVE0015E: Failure to initialize Web application myWebApp
If I reload the page I get the following:
[WARNING ] SRVE0274W: Error while adding servlet mapping for path-->/login/*, wrapper-->ServletWrapper[Application Servlet:[/login/*]], application-->myWebApp.
[ERROR ] SRVE0015E: Failure to initialize Web application myWebApp
I also have the following servlets/mappings under my web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Application Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/login/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Any ideas what could be wrong here or how I could get more detailed debug info?
UPDATE
I just created a skeleton 'dynamic web project' there and put an index.html file in it. I added it to the liberty server and it worked by going to localhost:9080/simpleApp/index.html.
The exisiting dynamic web app I am trying to add is very large and complex. I found the following under was4d/usr/servers/TEST/logs/ffdc/ffdc_12.02.16_16.40.33.0.log:

The spring setup in the web app appears to be causing some issue?
Thanks
