Paul McMahan updated GERONIMO-2006: ----------------------------------- Attachment: GERONIMO-2006.patch I was able to recreate the problem on tomcat. It is caused by a buffer overrun when render parameters that are set during the processAction phase are bigger than 8k. Since the error messages from the deployers are often larger than 8k the attached patch works around the buffer overrun by saving the message in the portlet session instead. The patch also looks for use of the configId attribute in the plan and if found uses the new upgrade utility to provide an upgraded version of the plan that the user can save locally as a starting point. In some cases (welcome app, jmx-debug app, etc) no further editing of the plan is required. The user can just save the updated plan for their 1.0 app and immediately deploy it again from the same portlet. The patch doesn't support upgrading plans that are embedded in the archive -- this is a bit more challenging but I think can be done. And finally, since error messages from the deployers are often very, very long and contains several stack traces this patch just shows the first line of the error message in the console (which is usually sufficient) and provides a button to show the full message if the user wants all the gory details. > Deploying an application with an incorrect deployment plan results in > non-functional admin console panel > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-2006 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2006 > Project: Geronimo > Type: Bug > Security: public(Regular issues) > Components: deployment, console > Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Dave Colasurdo > Assignee: Aaron Mulder > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.1 > Attachments: GERONIMO-2006.patch, Myapp.war, badPlan.xml, badPlan2.xml, > stackTrace.log > > Deploying myApp.war using badPlan.xml (both attached) results in a > non-functioning "Show Web App Wars" panel. > The console "Deploy Applications" panel reports "application installed and > started successfully".
