Hello everybody, I try to install the current version of the Taverna server (2.5.4) on a 64 bit Linux machine (CentOS release 6.3), I can deploy the Taverna .war archive, but the web application doesn't start up.
It seems there is an initialization issue with the used spring framework in the background, see logs below. I followed the instructions under http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/wiki/display/tav250/Installation+Guide, chose a self-signed certificate for SSL with the java tool, %JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool. I adjusted the java cryptography settings and can use the Tomcat server with SSL. I could deploy the Taverna .WAR archive, BUT it doesn't start up. It always gives me the following errors: catalina.out: SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal Error listenerStart SEVERE [localhost-startStop-1] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal Context [/taverna_server] startup failed due to previous errors transerv.out: ERROR ContextLoader ContextLoader - Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'webapp' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/beans.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'worker.policy' while setting bean property 'policy'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'worker.policy' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/beans.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'localworker.state' while setting bean property 'limits'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'localworker.state' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/beans.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.PropertyBatchUpdateException; nested PropertyAccessExceptions (1) are: PropertyAccessException 1: org.springframework.beans.MethodInvocationException: Property 'defaultExecuteWorkflowScript' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException at I tried different versions of Tomcat (7.0.56, 8.0.14), different versions of Java (Java 7, Java 8) and different versions of Taverna (2.4.4, 2.5.4) and different combinations of those. The mentioned spring framework error has been always the same. So it seems it is not dependent on a certain used version of one of the used packages but rather a general error in my installation process. I couldn't find the cause of the problem, couldn't find any mentioned information about existing dependencies related to this issue. All other issues (Java, Tomcat, SSL, cryptorgraphy, ports, file system rights, tomcat users should be set appropriately. Can anybody suggest some ideas how I can overcome this problem? I would appreciate it. I am wondering why I can't find any information about that problem in the net.
