[Exist-development] unable to get monex to work in servlet container

[Chris T. <chr...@gm...>]

Hello,

Environment: Mac OS 10.10.2; java 1.8.0_31; Tomcat 8.0.12; eXist version:

  eXist-develop-20150303-5604f86

When I build and run standalone (./bin/startup.sh) on a virgin database and open the dashboard >> package manager and install monex, I then can successfully launch monex.

However, when I ./build.sh dist-war and deploy in tomcat on a virgin database and open the dashboard >> package manager and install monex and then launch monex I get the following resutl:

>   <exception>
>     <path>/db/apps/monex/modules/view.xql</path>
>     <message>
>       exerr:ERROR error found while loading module app: Error while loading module app.xql: error found while loading module console: Cannot find module class from EXPath repository: org.exist.console.xquery.ConsoleModule
>     </message>
>   </exception>


The repair:… functions don’t help and would seem to be superfluous any way since this is a fresh clean install.

I had thought that the problem was related to restoring an old /db/apps onto a fresh db and I did a test where I unzipped a full backup and then restored all but the old /db/apps and then installed monex and got the above error. This led me to see what happens in the initial conditions which is that monex doesn’t work.

I’ve tried installing and restarting the tomcat + db to no avail. I’ve tried running the repair functions at various points to no avail. I’ve verified that the monex is present in data/expathrepo as expected and that the ConsoleModule is in the jar in the /db/apps/monex/contents and so on.

I can’t migrate our production system until I can get monex working since with the removal of exist/admin there is no way to monitor and so on.

Finally, there’s nothing in the exist.log or any of the tomcat logs.

Thanks,
Chris
