Tomcat: "IllegalStateException: No output folder"
Read the article on my new blog under http://blog.js-development.com/2010/12/tomcat-illegalstateexception-no-output.html
Today, I started to create a couple of JSP pages for the server-side part of my MSc thesis project in order to be able to output some meaningful statistics of the underlying data in form of diagrams. The server was already based on Tomcat and Spring because the mobile client transmits the data over XML-RPC HTTP to an appropriate Spring controller which handles the requests. So everything I needed to do was to
- create a "jsp" folder inside the WEB-INF directory
- inside the "jsp" folder, create a jsp file with the desired content
- create a Spring controller, which returns as
ModelAndViewthe jsp page - create a
ViewResolverbean in the spring configuration - define a correct mapping in the
SimpleUrlHandlerMappingthat points to the before created controller
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: No output folder
The problem here were incorrectly set permissions on the Tomcat installation folder. Basically, the installation was done under the root user while the application started as the user with which I was currently logged on at my machine. To solve this it's enough to do the following:
chown -R Juri apache-tomcat-6.0.29

I've been struggling with this for a while now. I hope this works.
In:
'chown -R Juri apache-tomcat-6.0.29'
Is 'Juri' the user? Or the Root?
Hi,
"Juri" is my name, i.e. the user that starts tomcat. :)
bye
Brilliant thanks, I'll give it a try.
I made a separate 'tomcat' user account for the tomcat service. But I get multiple errors upon deploying my app.
Strange thing is that on my laptop I have the same configuration (only on windows instead of CentOS) and it runs fine there, thus it has to be something related to the permissions.

Try to delete your app from
CATALINA_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost
and then restart,
You Rock! Man!
I was using Sysdeo plugin in eclipse to lunch tomcat 7 and having the exact same problem.
It worked for me. But since I'm using mac, the command is like:
sudo chown -R dachaoli apache-tomcat-7.0.16
and then you have to type in your password~
Awesome, thank's man, solved my problem, fast and effective.
Thanks.
