Unable to run Optaplanner Web Example

Question

When I try to Run the optaplanner 6.3.0-SNAPSHOT web example from eclipse (after building with maven and the run on the Server). I am getting the following exception, I tried to deploy the war (downloaded with source code) file directly to tomcat almost similar error shown there as well

Answer 1

I run Optaplanner Web Example (version 7.23.0.Final) in this way.

step0, Download optaplanner-distribution-7.23.0.Final.zip from OptaPlanner website and unzip distribute package, find optaplanner-webexamples.war.

step1, Write an Dockerfile.

FROM jboss/wildfly:14.0.1.Final
MAINTAINER zbr

COPY ./optaplanner-webexamples.war /opt/jboss/wildfly/standalone/deployments/optaplanner-webexample.war

RUN /opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/add-user.sh admin admin456 --silent

CMD ["/opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/standalone.sh", "-b", "0.0.0.0", "-bmanagement", "0.0.0.0"]

step3, Build docker image.

docker build -t optaplanner-webexample:latest .

step4, Run.

docker run -ti --rm -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 optaplanner-webexample:latest

step5, Test.

firefox http://localhost:8080/optaplanner-webexample

It works.

Answer 2

I succeeded in making the 6.3 web example run in tomcat by replacing the following piece of code in your project web.xml file:

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>javax.ws.rs.core.Application</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

for this servlet configuration code(taken from 6.2 web example):

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>VrpShowScheduleServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.optaplanner.webexamples.vehiclerouting.VrpShowScheduleServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>VrpShowScheduleServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/vehiclerouting/showSchedule.png</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
