grails 3.3.5 deployment in wildfly-13.0.0.Final, issue 404 - Not Found & context path fixing
grails-3.3.5 framework lib, jboss wildfly-13.0.0.Final installed in pc. 02. create a grails application then edit [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix/build.gradle] file's dependencies block like below
dependencies { compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-logging" compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-autoconfigure" compile "org.grails:grails-core" compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator" //compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat" provided "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat" compile "org.grails:grails-web-boot" compile "org.grails:grails-logging" compile "org.grails:grails-plugin-rest" compile "org.grails:grails-plugin-databinding" compile "org.grails:grails-plugin-i18n" compile "org.grails:grails-plugin-services" compile "org.grails:grails-plugin-url-mappings" compile "org.grails:grails-plugin-interceptors" compile "org.grails.plugins:cache" compile "org.grails.plugins:async" compile "org.grails.plugins:scaffolding" compile "org.grails.plugins:events" compile "org.grails.plugins:hibernate5" compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.1.5.Final" compile "org.grails.plugins:gsp" console "org.grails:grails-console" profile "org.grails.profiles:web" runtime "org.glassfish.web:el-impl:2.1.2-b03" runtime "com.h2database:h2" runtime "org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-jdbc" runtime "com.bertramlabs.plugins:asset-pipeline-grails:2.14.8" testCompile "org.grails:grails-gorm-testing-support" testCompile "org.grails:grails-web-testing-support" testCompile "org.grails.plugins:geb:1.1.2" testRuntime "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-chrome-driver:2.47.1" testRuntime "org.seleniumhq.selenium:selenium-htmlunit-driver:2.47.1" testRuntime "net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit:2.18" // have add below one lib for jboss xml api support runtime 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.12' } just make org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat, compile to provided and add runtime 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.12' dependency.
03. Then edit [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix/grails-app/conf/application.yml] this file. just add the below content
server: context-path: /grailsinwildfly grails 3^* application by default deployed in root so it's context path is just "/", but tomcat and jboss container looking for a context path when it dosen't found any context path then it shows 404 - Not Found. This works for tomcat fine but jboss need more config like below.
first create a folder [/WEB-INF] then within that folder create a file [jboss-web.xml] and in that file place below content
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jboss-web version="10.0" xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_10_0.xsd"> <context-root>/grailsinwildfly</context-root> </jboss-web>look at context-root which value should be same as context-path value.
05. Create another file in [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF] named [jboss-deployment-structure.xml] having content like below
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1"> <deployment> <exclusions> <module name="org.hibernate.validator"></module> </exclusions> </deployment> </jboss-deployment-structure>jboss use it's own hibernate lib that may conflict with grails app hibernate lib that's why that should be exclude in deployment.
06. Now one more config by edit file [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix/grails-app/init/grails/wildfly13/deployment/fix/Application.groovy] with content like below
package grails.wildfly13.deployment.fix import grails.boot.GrailsApp import grails.boot.config.GrailsAutoConfiguration import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.transaction.jta.* @EnableAutoConfiguration(exclude=[JtaAutoConfiguration]) class Application extends GrailsAutoConfiguration { static void main(String[] args) { GrailsApp.run(Application, args) } }go to the application root folder then apply command
clean compile war prod within some times war file will be create in folder [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix/build/libs/grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix-0.1.war] now copy the file [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix-0.1.war] to other place and rename the file as [grailsinwildfly.war] mind it [grailsinwildfly] is our context path.
some@somepc:/opt/wildfly13/bin $ ./standalone.sh and browse link http://127.0.0.1:9990/console/index.html then click on Deployment tab then click on (+) button browse the [grails-wildfly13-deployment-fix-0.1.war] file and follow the snap shoot below __
upload done -> Next -> Finish
View Deployment
Click the blue link which is application context path
So deployment done and browse you app here http://127.0.0.1:8080/grailsinwildfly
you can also visit http://127.0.0.1:8080/grailsinwildfly/open/index
