Maven Jetty Servlet does not get initialized

Posted on November 17, 2014

I have Jetty Server I built with Maven and Java 8 in my Ubuntu Droplet. I was able to start it once just fine and could communicate with it over port 8080.

Since I wanted to run it in a different screen I stopped, opened screen and tried to restart it with mvn jetty:run -Dplatform.dependencies since then it doesn’t start anymore, but I don’t get a error message either.

[INFO] Context path = /opencvserver-server
[INFO] Tmp directory =  determined at runtime
[INFO] Web defaults = org/mortbay/jetty/webapp/webdefault.xml
[INFO] Web overrides =  none
[INFO] Webapp directory = /root/OCV_Server/opencvserver-server/src/main/webapp
[INFO] Starting jetty 6.1.10 ...
2014-11-17 17:41:22.124::INFO:  jetty-6.1.10
2014-11-17 17:41:22.484::INFO:  No Transaction manager found - if your webapp requires one, please configure one.

When I start it locally it looks like this:

[INFO] Starting jetty 6.1.10 ...
[INFO] jetty-6.1.10
[INFO] No Transaction manager found - if your webapp requires one, please configure one.
[INFO] Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet 'rest-app'
[INFO] Started SelectChannelConnector@0.0.0.0:8080
[INFO] Started Jetty Server

So it seems to fail when initializing the Servlet.

I know this is a really specific question but is there a way to find out what is going wrong with maven in the droplet? Filter for some error message that aren’t shown to me? On my local machine (OS X Yosemite) it runs just fine and I’m not too good with Ubuntu.

This is my maven config:

mvn -v
Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-14)
Java version: 1.8.0_25
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux" version: "3.13.0-37-generic" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix"

Any help would be appreciated.

Actually I solved the problem myself. It just worked after I left it running for a few minutes. Shame on me.
