I am getting the following exception when I am adding Hibernate jar to Struts2 with Tiles integrated web Application :
org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart
SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener

Struts application can not start with log4j.
What is wrong?
Here is log4j.properties:
# Direct to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n
# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout
# Good for troubleshooting
log4j.logger.org.hibernate=INFO
# Log JDBC parameters
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=ALL

Your application server is failing to start due to problems with SLF4J (Simple Logging Facade for Java), not Log4j. You are probably:
including an old version of SLF4J, or
mixing multiple versions of SLF4J (one of which old), or
there is an old SLF4J version in the application server's shared libraries.
To fix this,
ensure you have the latest version of SLF4J, or a version higher than 1.6.0;
if not enough, check out which SLF4J classes are loaded ( and from where), as described here.
"grails cf-push" results in errors listed below. Is there a way using the cloudfoundry plugin to "start fresh". I would prefer not to lose my test data in a MySQL database and a MongoDB database.

If you do cf-update or delete the app and re-run cf-push, it will ask you if you want to use the existing MySQL and Mongo services. If you do there isn't any data loss - just don't delete the services along with the app before re-running cf-push.
Make sure you're using 'grails prod cf-push' since that will use the production configuration - there is a warning displayed if you run 'grails cf-push' to that effect.
The root cause is a CNFE from the HttpClient library. See if you can get it working locally and it should work fine on Cloud Foundry since you're just pushing a war file.
I found the problem. I added a service that used an external jar from a third party package. The third party package shipped with 2 jars: one with dependencies and one without dependencies. I extracted the 3rd party zip into my classpath, but only included the one without dependencies in my lib directory. When I switched to using the jar with dependencies, the app deployed.The following things made this simple problem difficult to resolve:the error logs simply stated that there was a problem with 'grailsApplication' and there was a class not foundthe app ran on my workstation using run-app,the app doesn't run on my workstation using run-war (regardless of whether the correct jars are supplied),lack of sleep!
On to the next issue!

Iam having the following jars under/WEB-INF/lib/

jsf-impl-2.0.0.jar
jta-1.1.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
stax-api-1.0-2.jar
How to resolve this?
JSF 2.0 ships with Facelets 2.0 bundled. The Facelets 1.x JAR file would only collide with this. You should remove the Facelets 1.x JAR file.
All JAR files you need for developing JSF 2.0 with Facelets on Tomcat are jsf-api.jar and jsf-impl.jar.
I try join Java Security Manager to project with SpringSecurity (SS). I have the goal: my project works with SS and has dataSource (db2 database) as authentication-manager. I added ScriptManager(ScriptEngine) to project. Now I tries to setup security of project, what deny untrusted code. I use NetBeans and in properties of Tomcat (6.0.20) setup "Use Security Manager". Next, I edited {catalina.base}/conf/catalina.police. I added next "grants":
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/myapp/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/work/Catalina/localhost/myapp/" {
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "defineClassInPackage.org.apache.jasper.runtim e";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessDeclaredMembers";
};
grant codeBase "file:${catalina.base}/webapps/myapp/-" {
permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "suppressAccessChecks";
permission java.lang.reflect.ReflectPermission "accessDeclaredMembers";
permission java.io.FilePermission "${catalina.home}${file.separator}myapp${file.sepa rator}*", "read";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessDeclaredMembers";
permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "*";
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "*", "read";
};
And now problem. When I run my code under debuger I get next error:

When my Grails WAR is hot-deployed to Tomcat and I refresh the page, I get this error:
1 Feb, 2010 7:00:51 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet view-servlet threw exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: BeanFactory not initialized or already closed - call 'refresh' before accessing beans via the ApplicationContext
at org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.getBeanFactory(AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.java:15
This error does not persist when Tomcat is restarted.
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext();
Spring try to lookup the applicationContext.xml from the CLASSPATH, if the xml file can't be found, "BeanFactory not initialized or already closed" error will be thrown out. That is why you restart the tomcat it works just fine. However I don't know the real cause why the applicationContext.xml is not in the classpath during hot-deploy.
If you are running only one Grails application in your tomcat, you can try to put the applicationContext.xml in Tomcat classpath and try hot-deploy again.
