Eclipse Mars + Glassfish Tools 8.6.1 -> Error getting URL for WebResource

Thomas Kernstock

Hi @All,

I'm using Eclipse Mars with Oohmp and the "Use bundle" option to install my different eclipse versions. The Glassfishtools are version 8.6.1.

When deploying an application with "Run on server" I receive:

GlassFish: Error getting URL for WebResource [module=Module[ISG-BKSelfservice,org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:ISG-BKSelfservice], path=]

java.lang.NullPointerException

......

- The application I try to deploy worked fine until recently on Glassfish 3.1.1.

- I can install the war directly on the server with no problems on Glassfish 3.1.1 and Payara 4.1

- I'm using a glassfish-web.xml as suggested in former posts.

- When I try to add the application to the server with "Add and remove" I see -> "There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server"

     This is the case since a long time ago, but until now I was able to deploy by "Run on server" without a problem.

- I uninstalled the Glassfishtools and tried using an older version (8.6.0 and 8.5.0) but this didn't work too.

- I created a completely new workspace and a new dummy project. This could be added to the server once. As soon as I imported my projects from git and tried to deploy them I ran into the same error as above. From that moment on I also coundn't readd the newly created dummyproject.

This situation is rather serious because I'm not able use eclipse to work on my project, so I hope you can help me out with this

Thank you in advance

Additional Information:

I did a fresh installation of Java Mars EE (no Oohmp) and only installed Glassfishtools and JBoss CDI Tools. I removed all .plugins entries refering to oracle and/or glassfish in my workspace and loaded it within the fresh installation.

=> Same problem.

I solved the problem ->

I created a new project and copied only the java source code and the jsf pages. Now I can see the project when perssing the "add...." button in the servers context menu and the deployment works without an error. I assume, that somewhere in the projects config files was an old an entry the caused the problem.

Nevertheless, it would be interresting what caused the problem - because I wouldn't want to do that again in case this problems appears again with a new plugin or serverversion.
