Camunda + Spring app not visible in cockpit

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions

I created a Camunda + Spring App as described here and deployed it as described in the documentation:

mavn package war:war

and then copied the war file to `$CAMUNDA_HOME/server/apache-tomcat-8.0.24/webapps``

Also I defined the pools as executable, but I can’t see my app in the cockpit.

I also took a look at catalina.outand there’s no error in there

05-Jun-2017 14:39:24.119 INFO [localhost-startStop-11] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Deployment of web application archive /Users/paulcurcean/Downloads/camunda-bpm-tomcat-7.6.0/server/apache-tomcat-8.0.24/webapps/dronedelivery-0-SNAPSHOT.war has finished in 4,042 ms

I also tried importing the war of the camunda + spring example to the webapps folder, but that one doesn’t work as well.

Hi @paulcurcean,

Does the Tomcat log file state that your processes were deployed? If you are not sure, please post the portion of the log file that covers application deployment.

hi @thorben,

thanks for your response.
yes. I took a look at catalina.out and there was statet that the app was deployed and no error was logged.
should I look elsewhere?

Cheers,
Paul

Did you download the Tomcat distribution from camunda.org? If yes, did you make any modifications to it aside from deploying your application? If no, I assume you installed Camunda manually, correct?

5

yes, I downloaded Tomcat from camunda.org and I just unzipped it.
no, I haven’t made any modifications to it, just deployed my app in the webapps folder and started the engine via the bash script.

I’ve tried it on OS X and Windows 10.

6

Could you publish the sources of your application on github?

7

yes, I can.
but I’ve got the same problem with your example camunda + spring

8

Ok, can you then post the exact and minimal steps you perform to reproduce this?

  • I downloaded and unzipped camunda and then started it using the bash script.
  • After that I cloned camunda + sping example and used mvn package to create the war-file.
  • copied the war-file in the webapps-directory and refreshed camunda cockpit

Hi,

Did you check out the master branch or the Bonus tag? The code on master branch uses an embedded engine that points to a different H2 database than the shared engine that comes with the Camunda Tomcat distribution. Your application should use the shared engine as described in the bonus chapter.

Cheers,
Thorben

I used the master branch, because the camunda + spring example has only the branches master and 7.5.

Okay, it won’t work with the master branch as that uses an embedded engine. Run git checkout Bonus and build that.
