Web Application not found

[adtd8]

I have this web application which I run with jetty. I also this Bootstrap.java class which is responsible for starting jetty as embedded. Whenever I run the Bootstrap class, everything works fine. However if I package everything in a jar file, all of the sudden I get an error message saying

Web application not found
/home/andi/Documents/projects/rivy/RIVY_DEV/file:/home/andi/
Documents/projects/rivy/RIVY_DEV/client.jar!/client


Can anyone tell me why this is, and if there is anyway how to make it find the web application?

Thanks a lot

client.jar!/client

It looks like there is a problem finding client in client.jar
Check the jar file.

client is the web application that the Bootstrap checks for by:
URL url = Bootstrap.class.getResource("client")

and it finds it.
Also whenever I extract the jar file, "client" is indeed there .

Any other ideas to why it's not finding it?

I just wanted to add this to show the difference when i run the application directly by calling the Bootstratp, and when I try to run the Bootstrap inside the jar.

!/rivy/web/boot/client}

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the BOOTSTRAP program you mention.

The message above shows client to be in package path.
Is that correctly set in the jar file?
If you run the program from disk files in folders and it works, that would mean that the client class is properly placed. When you put it in the jar file, you must preserve the package path.

Bootstrap is actually just a java class that stars up jetty.

here is Bootstrap.java

public class Bootstrap {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Bootstrap bs = new Bootstrap();
bs.startJetty();
}

private void startJetty() throws Exception {
Server server = new Server(9092);
Connector connector = new SelectChannelConnector();

connector.setPort(9092);
connector.setHost("localhost");

server.setConnectors(new Connector[] {connector});

WebAppContext webappcontex = new WebAppContext();
webappcontex.setContextPath("/");

URL warFile = Bootstrap.class.getResource("client");
if(warFile == null) {
System.out.println("ERROR, client not found");
System.exit(-1);
}

webappcontex.setWar(new File( warFile.getPath()).getAbsolutePath());

HandlerList handler = new HandlerList();
handler.setHandlers(new Handler[]{webappcontex, new DefaultHandler()});
server.setHandler(handler);

server.start();
}

I believe the client directory is place in the right place in the jar file because even after I place everything inside the jar, if I take the jar in a completely different location and then extract the jar, then if i would run the Bootrstrap it works.

As you said it works if I am running when not in the jar but i am not sure what is causing it to not see client inside the jar.

If you look at the code, it never crashes when I check if the the variable warFile is null which tells me that it sees that..

I observed from my debugging that up to the last step "server.start()" it never crashes, and then as soon as i uncomment the line server.start(), that's when it throws the error

Do i need to add "client" to the class path in the manifest file?

Does my jar syntax lool correct?

<jar jarfile="${client.file}"
basedir="${build.dir}/${war.dir}"
update="yes"
duplicate="fail">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}"/>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="rivy.web.boot.Bootstrap"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
