Unable to start pulse after starting a ServerLauncher

[Priyam Soni]

I am trying to run Gemfire Server using java code. However, I am unable to start pulse as I get an error saying "geode-web-api war file was not found".

There are no logs being printer after this:

Here is the code I am using to run the ServerLauncher:

Hello Priyam

 

Thank you for contacting Pivotal Support community.

 

Please check if you have "geode-web-api" war file under $(GEMFIRE_HOME)/tools/Extensions directory. Following war files should exist in order to start the rest api and pulse.

• geode-web-api-x.x
• geode-web-management-x.x
• geode-web-x.x

 

Please refer to the following link for more information.

Kind Regards

Hi,

I have them all here.

[Priyam Soni]

Is it meant to be GEMFIRE_HOME or GEODE_HOME?

[Geet Rawat]

Apologies. It should be GEODE_HOME. Gemfire uses system classpath followed by application classpath. So, can you please try adding the war file to your classpath manually.

 

 

Kind Regards

Add it in the Intellij's libraries? I can see Gemfire has found the GEODE_HOME path but can't find the war files from there.

That is one option, yes.

Can you also try the same using gfsh. Like start a locator and then a server with "--start-rest-api=true" and see if you are still getting error. This error actually is a classpath issue.

If that does not resolve, then I would encourage you to open a support ticket and we can review the artifacts in detail.

 

 

Kind Regards

I added .set("start-rest-api", "true").

But gives an exception saying "Unknown configuration attribute name start-rest-api."

[Geet Rawat]

start-rest-api is a gfsh parameter while starting the server.

[Priyam Soni]

Hi I have tried that, and through gfsh it is able to pick up the war files. But just not in intellij.

[Geet Rawat]

Then you should try to check if your settings are excluding .war extenstions or try including the war files in intellij library manually.

Okay thanks!
