Product: Tomcat 9 Version: 9.0.0.M1 Hardware: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: gandhi.sa...@live.com Created attachment 33284 --> https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=33284&action=edit Patch for the solution. For earliar versions, following code works. But for tomcat 9 , It is giving null pointer exception while starting the server. Tomcat tomcat = new Tomcat(); tomcat.setHostname("localhost"); tomcat.setPort(8080); tomcat.setBaseDir("D:/softwares/servers/STUDY_TOMCAT"); tomcat.start(); Exception in thread "main" org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardServer[-1]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:159) at org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat.start(Tomcat.java:345) at com.gandhisagar.test.TomcatStart.main(TomcatStart.java:13) Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardService[Tomcat]] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:159) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.startInternal(StandardServer.java:769) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:155) ... 2 more Caused by: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [org.apache.catalina.mapper.MapperListener@685f4c2e] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:159) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.startInternal(StandardService.java:451) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:155) ... 4 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.mapper.MapperListener.findDefaultHost(MapperListener.java:261) at org.apache.catalina.mapper.MapperListener.startInternal(MapperListener.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleBase.start(LifecycleBase.java:155) ... 6 more Solution: While debugging the issue we found that , Container is not getting initialized properly. So we need to call corg.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat.getEngine() while starting the server in embedded mode. So that same code will work with Tomcat 9.0 (Attaching the patch with the bug) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
