Playframework + Tomcat Deployment issue

Question

I am trying to deploy a web app developed in play framework in Tomcat. The first few times I tried, I got the following message in the Tomcat console,

INFO:          


        

Answer 1

First I had the same problem like you when I deployed a play webapp to Tomcat 7, but then I got it running:

1. Yes, you have to manually remove the geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec-1.2.jar library
2. The reason might be an additional error that has nothing to do with the first problem. Please look into the /logs/catalina.out log file and also into the /logs/localhost..log file! In my case it was a missing JDBC library. I added the missing library to the play applications /lib directory, recreated the war file, again removed the geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec-1.2.jar and after that my application worked under Tomcat 7.0.25
