Unable to run Nexus 1.3.4 with Glassfishv2ur2 on Aix

[Baptiste MATHUS]

Hi all,

I'm currently stuck with this problem. I already read https://docs.sonatype.com/display/NX/Nexus+FAQ#NexusFAQ-Q.Whycan%27tIdeploytheWARintoGlassFishserver%3F and http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/install-sect-as-a-war.html#d0e829 (which, btw, doesn't say completely the same thing. If you follow the "book" documentation, you get an error saying that the logfile wasn't defined).

Anyway, I guess I did that correctly and I'm now stuck with something bizarre... But I'm quite used to it with Aix JVM...

When I deploy nexus 1.3.4, apart from the fact that "asadmin stop-domain" will become unusable ending with a NPE, I'll only get an *almost* empty page when opening the nexus webapp (see http://imagebin.ca/view/izcLwN7.html to understand what I mean by "almost empty").

Note that when I deploy under windows, it seems like the webapp is accessible (it seems to display nexus interface correctly), but it will just prevent glassfish from stopping properly.

I want to run nexus inside GF for two reasons: I want to run it along the already running hudson webapp (and only using one port for webapps), and because the jsw won't work for AIX (I already had the very same problem with sonar in the past). And I run it on AIX because AIX is our client platform, so we run almost all our server under AIX.

I don't really know where to look. Do you have any idea of what could be going on?

Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Not sure about running the war in glassfish/aix, but there are aix wrapper files available, see the faq entry http://nexus.sonatype.org/about/faq.html#nbspQWherecanIfindstartupscriptsforOSsnotincludedinthebundle

 

Unless of course you are experiencing some other problem with jsw running on aix

What about using Jetty instead of Glassfish?

Hi Damian, Hi Brian,

* Yes, I saw this link. I already tried a lot to run JSW on our Aix. I never managed to do it. It might be because we have something (from what I understood of our sysadmin) like 64 bits running in 32 bits mode. Anyway, each time I try running jsw, I get a core dump with the 32 bits, or a start-but-doesnt-work with 64 bits mode...

I might try this, but I wanted to run both hudson and nx under the same port. But I guess I might be forced to run them separately, maybe at least to be able to find hints about what's going wrong with nx deployment.

* Well, using jetty isn't really an option for me since this GF instance already runs hudson without the least problem. Hudson worked out of the box just after being deployed. I wanted to try and understand what could prevents nexus from behaving the same.

Thanks.

After removing the console appender form Nexus' log4j.properties, the WAR should work on Glassfish. At least we tested it on Linux and Windows.

But not sure on AIX :(

I have exactly the same problem on Linux.

Ubuntu 9.04 Server i386
Java 1.6.0_14-b08
Glassfish v2.1 b60e
Nexus 1.3.6

I struggled through the documentation. For consistency, the docs references by the OP should say $plexus.nexus-work/conf/log4j.properties instead of $work-dir/conf/log4j.properties.  The stale WEB-INF/log4j.properties file in the .war is also confusing.  It should be removed or mentioned in the docs.

I can get Nexus to deploy and it appears to function, but it breaks Glassfish shutdown using asadmin.  I have to kill the process by hand.

Same problem I had with pretty much the same setup. I regret to say I have to run nexus in a separate process :(

Sorry for the delay. The code is still not in a fully working version but if you want to take a look at it I can set you up at Github.

I ended up grabbing the bundle.  It was simple to install and works perfectly.  Since I don't have a specific requirement of running on Glassfish the bundle will do for me.

This is the best approach since we can better support the embedded
Jetty container.

We don't know of any issues shutting down other containers so why
Glassfish refuses to shutdown is curious.
