Cant deploy simple Spring Boot web app to OpenShift

I have a .war file which when I copy to webapps folder in my local instance of Tomcat 9 then it deploys successfully. Somehow when I try to run it on Openshift gear(Tomcat 7) it doesnt get deployed. Steps I am taking:

0: I clone the remote repository.

1: I copy the war file to webapps folder in git repository.

2: I push it to remote repo and I get output:

For now see four problems:

  • Dependency org.javassist

mvn dependency:tree shows

[INFO] \- org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf:jar:1.4.1.RELEASE:compile
[INFO]    +- org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf-spring4:jar:2.1.5.RELEASE:compile
[INFO]    |  +- org.thymeleaf:thymeleaf:jar:2.1.5.RELEASE:compile

[INFO]       \- org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:jar:2.4.7:compile (version managed from 2.4.3)

that dependency comes form spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.javassist</groupId>

</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
    <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
    <version>3.17.1-GA</version>
</dependency>

due to OpenShift Tomcat Processing Annotations Error Deploying War

  • Tomcat version

Tomcat version could be changed though properties in pom.xml

    <properties>
        <java.version>1.7</java.version>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
        <start-class>com.example.SimpleAppApplication</start-class>
        <tomcat.version>7.0.54</tomcat.version>
    </properties>
  • OpenShift java version

Check if exist marker file .openshift/markers/java7 on OpenShift git repo due to https://developers.openshift.com/servers/tomcat/getting-started.html#other

optionally you can add marker .openshift/markers/skip_maven_build to skip maven build.

  • Loading controllers

If PagesController.java is on controllers package

    @Configuration
    @EnableAutoConfiguration
    @ComponentScan("controllers")
    @RestController
    public class SimpleAppApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

        @Override
        protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder application) {
            return application;
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SpringApplication.run(SimpleAppApplication.class, args);
        }
    }

I think you have simply compiled in your local environment in Java 8 as by your pom and then pushed the war on openshift without pom and source so without rebuild. I would have expected a different exception, but this is my guess. Tomcat 7 on openshift run by default with Java 6 or Java 7 if you configure the marker. I suggest you to align your local configuration to the one present on openshift (jdk and tomcat) if you don't need the new feature of the latest version. You have also to change these lines in your pom.xml with the proper version of Java.

<properties>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

UPDATE 1

Please try also one of those solutions together with the above one:

     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>5.1.0.Final</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.javassist</groupId>
                <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>

or edit the file catalina.properties on the gear add: tomcat.util.scan.DefaultJarScanner.jarsToSkip=javassist-*.jar

UPDATE 2

I see you have a dependency to javaassist also due thymeleaf, then add also this exclusion to your pom and switch to java 1.7 because you have a web module 3.1 ( add a marker on openshift to make him use java 7) 

<properties>
    <java.version>1.7</java.version>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
    <start-class>com.example.SimpleAppApplication</start-class>
</properties>

you cant exclude javaassist for thymeleaf so the only option. is to add:

 tomcat.util.scan.DefaultJarScanner.jarsToSkip = [existing exclusions] javassist-*.jar

to catalina.properties in openshift

Have you tried specifying war deployment on your pom.xml ?

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
    <configuration>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
        <outputDirectory>target</outputDirectory>
        <warName>ROOT</warName>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
