FAIL - Deployed application at context path / but context failed to start

Im working in 2 separate webapplications a back and front app. The funny thing is when I run the back-end I don't have any issues. But in the front-end I get the following error:

I have the following error in Netbeans 

NetBeans: Deploying on Apache Tomcat or TomEE
    profile mode: false
    debug mode: false
    force redeploy: true
Undeploying ...
undeploy?path=/
OK - Undeployed application at context path /
In-place deployment at D:\WebDevel\WebStore\WebFrontE\target\Web-1.0-SNAPSHOT
Deployment is in progress...
deploy?config=file%3A%2FC%3A%2FUsers%7E1%2FAppData%2FLocal%2FTemp%2Fcontext7815575477480252472.xml&path=/
FAIL - Deployed application at context path / but context failed to start

Both are running on the same Tomcat. my colleague has the same code and it works fine :-s

After Installing tomcat do not start the service. Netbeans starts tomcat a different way. for me i have uninstall tomcat and installed it again.

  1. Uninstall tomcat and install it. dont run the server.
  2. Add tomcat server in netbeans.
  3. run it again it works.

Problem has been resolved by stopping the Tomcat server sudo systemctl stop tomcat so as to allow Netbeans to run it. If the server is already running when Netbeans tries to deploy an app Netbeans will display the delopy failed message.

One Problem could be the port you are trying to use might be being used by another application. Try changing the port or clearing that one and it might work fine.

FAIL - Failed to deploy application at context path...

I was facing the same issue. But I resolved it. Please see the following steps:

  1. First, stop the Tomcat service that is already running on the background, Not in the Netbeans. For this, go to TaskManager properties>Services>tomcat
  2. Right click on the tomcat service to stop
  3. Now, after that. Close netbeans IDE and run again
  4. Right click on the project and select run. The project will be running without any issue

I hope above solution will be helpfull who having the same error.

I had the same issue with even newly added projects tried a lot of stuff mentioned above. what works for me is to manually Stop tomcat service in the Installation directory \Tomcat 9.0\bin Tomcat9w.exe. Then deployed the project it works this way in Netbeans IDE.

This is a bit late but for anyone who might face the same error.

For me, this error was caused by wrong syntax in my servlet.

@WebServlet(urlPatterns = {"/x/login", "/x/register", "/x/logout", "x/createrestaurant"})

It looked like the above and I got the same error. After sometime and trying to deploy on a different server (from Tomcat to Glassfish), Glassfish gave me better logs and I realized the syntax should have been like this

@WebServlet(urlPatterns = {"/x/login", "/x/register", "/x/logout", "/x/createrestaurant"}).

Notice the / before x/createrestaurant.

I had this error while using Java Web due to a syntax error:

My Servlet code should be like this:

@WebServlet(name = "EleicaoServlet", urlPatterns = {"/EleicaoServlet", "/main", "/insert", "/edit", "/delete", "/update"})

But I forgot to type '/' in the "/update"

@WebServlet(name = "EleicaoServlet", urlPatterns = {"/EleicaoServlet", "/main", "/insert", "/edit", "/delete", "update"})

And I got this error.

So if nothing above works you may want to check your code, it can be something stupid like this.

While trying to deploy a spring boot web app from jenkins to an external VM I was getting the same error as below. After I look into tomcat log I found it was for java version error. I didnt install proper java version which my spring boot application supports. I installed openjdk 8 and removed java7 from vm and it was resolved.

The actual cause behind the below error can be many . so check your tomcat /logs/catalina.out directory for exact error. at Jenkins build log it doesn't give actual error.

I am facing this problem, after trying several other suggestions, the following thing worked perfectly for me.

Delete the following file:

/apache-tomcat-9.0.13/conf/Catalina/localhost/*.xml

This could be many causes, but the most frequent personally in my case was the web.xml file servlet declarations. When I was cross developing a project both on Mac and Linux, I saw the file behave different in the two platforms due to some space or new line issues. It took me hours to find out as the servlet count was more than 20. Ultimately I narrowed down to strangely only one controller class declaration and found the syntax to be absolutely perfect. It bamboozled me, so I thought I'd rewrite the declaration after deleting the old one and BAM! It worked on Mac immediately. Strange.

Faced the same problem @ one time. In one of the instance, it was caused by a controller that had multiple methods with same route e.g

@RestController
public class UsersController
{   
    @Autowired
    UsersInterface userInterface;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/get", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String test()
    {
        return "Users";
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/get", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public List<user> getUsers()
    {
        List<User> users = userInterface.getUsers();
        return users;
    }
}

As you can see, the controller has 2 methods that define two get routes, hence Spring cannot resolve the method to run the .../users/get route.

Remote one of the get routes and change it to something else.

I may be late to answer but might help others later in the future.

I have came across this problems several times,i tried the below steps and it worked..!

1. Backup you current project(For safety).

2. Locate you project folder location (Normally found in MyDocuments or Documents folder named as NetBeansProjects).

3. Open the project folder and delete the folder named target inside your project folder

4. Close the NetBeans and re-open the it and run the project.

And you are good to go.

If the above didn't work then try deleting the xml file from the folder "Tomcat 9.0\conf\Catalina\localhost" folder.

I am also had trouble solving this kind of issue on my netbeans. I'm stack the whole day getting rid of this issue. Many solutions have been tried but still nothing happen until I tried to delete the "target" folder of my project and that solved the problem! Hope it helps! :)

I had same problem and I resolved this issue by stopping the tomcat from IDE and run the web application it starts the tomcat automatically.(This works in Netbeans IDE). Simply Stop Tomcat and start again and redeploy web application.

I may be a little late but would say that this could be because of the change in the factory name in Tomcat 8. So follow the below steps:

1) First, see if you are using Tomcat 8 or higher.

2) If yes, and tomcat is not able to deploy your application. Run the application in Debug mode and see stack trace in Tomcat window (at bottom. Not same as Tomcat.log). Scroll down the window and see if you can find an Exception like this:
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory

3) If you see something like above, Open your META-INF/context.xml and replace or add the factory attribute in the resource tag with: factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory"

4) Restart tomcat and redeploy.

I had this problem a d after a lot of links that didn't work, found this solution. Edit the server.xml on your Tomee server to provide a fully qualified path for appBase:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="C:\apache\apache-tomee-7.0.2-plume\webapps"
                  unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

I had the same problem, but I used only maven (without IDE). My tomcat version was tomcat7 7.0.70-1 and jdk8 (in pom.xml: <java.version>1.8</java.version>) It turned out that tomcat7 incompatible with java 8, so, I changed java.version in pom.xml on <java.version>1.7</java.version> and that was the solution!

Context Path (or) Context Root must be unique for each application deployed on the server.

So you can't deploy two applications with same context root to the same server. It seems for both of your applications the context path is /.

Check server.xml to see what context path both of them have. If they are not unique, then change them to solve the problem.

But if you want the same context root for both applications, then you need to deploy them in two different servers.
