Hi: I am new to ofbiz and testing it now. I put a HelloWorld hello1 in hot-deploy but not in applications. When starting the installed server(apache-ofbiz-12.04.02) , I got the following error: [java] 2013-10-07 06:17:22,116 (main) [ ComponentContainer.java:180:INFO ] Auto-Loading component directory : [C:/gtworkspace/ofbiz/applications] [java] 2013-10-07 06:17:22,121 (main) [ ComponentContainer.java:167:ERROR] Cannot load component : @ hello1 : The component root location does not exist: C:\gtworkspace\ofbiz \applications/hello1/ [java] 2013-10-07 06:17:22,121 (main) [ ComponentContainer.java:170:ERROR] Cannot load component : @ hello1 I didn't change anything in applications/component-load.xml, but did everything as the tutorial suggested. Then, it shows loading OK for hot-deploy [java] 2013-10-07 06:38:25,213 (main) [ ComponentContainer.java:180:INFO ] Auto-Loading component directory : [C:/gtworkspace/ofbiz/hot-deploy] [java] 2013-10-07 06:38:25,224 (main) [ ComponentContainer.java:241:INFO ] Loading component : [hello1] [java] 2013-10-07 06:38:25,238 (main) [ ComponentContainer.java:149:INFO ] All components loaded However, after the server is up, ecommerce works correct, but when browsed http://localhost:8080/hello1/control/main, I run into errors in two cases: 1) Setup controller.xml as in the tutorial: <preprocessor> <event type="java" path="org.ofbiz.securityext.login.LoginEvents" invoke="checkExternalLoginKey"/> </preprocessor> I got the error: [java] 2013-10-07 06:58:07,073 (http-bio-0.0.0.0-8443-exec-4) [ JavaEventHandler.java:108:ERROR] [java] ---- exception report ---------------------------------------------------------- [java] Problems Processing Event [java] Exception: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException [java] Message: org.ofbiz.securityext.login.LoginEvents.checkExternalLoginKey(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) [java] ---- stack trace --------------------------------------------------------------- [java] java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.ofbiz.securityext.login.LoginEvents.checkExternalLoginKey(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResp onse) [java] java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1655) I checked ofbiz API, there is no such a method in LoginEvents.

The result forced me to read all print out. I searched online and couldn't find anything. So I hope someone here may help me on the problems. Thanks, Xue-Feng
