Tomcat Context stopped Grails GGTS Cloudfoundry plugin - grails

I'm using the cloud foundry plugin. I have set my credentials in Config.groovy.
Can you tell me more about the errors I get?

Stopping Tomcat because the context stopped.

If it's a Grails app you should use the http://grails.org/plugin/cloud-foundry plugin instead of STS since it has an awareness of the Spring beans for JDBC, MongoDB, Redis, etc. and will reconfigure them automatically for you on deployment. See the docs here: http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-cloud-foundry/docs/manual/index.html
Also - do you really want both a MySQL and a PostgreSQL database? You should probably pick one :)
You can see the actual problem by looking at stacktrace.log and the "localhost" log in the tomcat/logs directory on the server - that's where the real stacktrace and error messages will be, not in the stdout that you see when deploying.

Thanks to my friend bertrand from odelia technologies, I succeeded in pushing my app to the cloud.I turned off one of the plugins I added and ran the command :
grails cf-bind-service mysql-f1..(I had not done it!)
Then I had to modify my DataSource.groovy;
production {
dataSource {
dialect= org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLInnoDBDialect
driverClassName = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
dbCreate = "update"
username = "n/a"
password = "n/a"
url = "n/a"
}
}

Grails project deployed on server successfully but not getting up on browser

i had deployed my project on Aws ec2 server according to this link: http://grails.asia/step-by-step-tutorial-on-how-to-host-your-grails-application
And its has been deployed successfully as my bootstrap has been executed and i
have given some println in it which are getting shown on tomcat's catalina.out.
and also the bootstraped data has been already inserted into mysql db. I
guess, it means that my application is running somewhere. But when i am trying
to hit the url according to above link its not getting dispalyed on browser.
I am hitting : https://35.154.163.145:8080/jobVacency/
where "35.154.163.145" is my aws IPv4 Public IP and
jobVacency is my project name.

Got It !!!
It was haproxy at the end. after a day of headscratching I got it when I sat with a cooler mind and thought through everything.
This is the link for dealing with 503 error.

I did not use rhc to connect to haproxy conf though. I used putty.

Spring Data Neo4j: using the Neo4j server with an embedded: JAR packaging

I was finally able to create a server instance within my java app that uses the embedded database as explained here. This works properly while I'm running it from Eclipse, but this is not actually my purpose (my app, between other things, feeds the database with new nodes and relationships). I have a Neo4j box which is supposed to be my server instance and I want to deploy my app there as a JAR file. In that way, I would like to access the web interface from there. I have already tested it: while running the java app in my development machine any machine in the same private network can access the interface without problems. The issue comes when trying to package everything into a JAR for server distribution.
The concrete error stack is as follows:
<!-- bean initialization stuff -->

I must say I'm pretty new to Spring, Maven and Neo4j itself. I'm quite lost how to get rid of this issue. The web interface actually loads but without any kind of functionality. See attached shot:
.
The backend of my app works fine despite of this issue and actually new nodes/relationships are created.
I think this issue (or kind of) was discussed here but the answer is not clear to me.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
I finally found a solution, which did the trick. I just share it, in case anyone else experiences the same issue. The problem was that some files under META-INF/services were being overwritten during the jar packaging process, since by default their content is not merged. According to the maven-shade plugin reference:
JAR files providing implementations of some interfaces often ship with
a META-INF/services/ directory that maps interfaces to their
implementation classes for lookup by the service locator. To merge
multiple implementations of the same interface into one service entry,
the ServicesResourceTransformer can be used.
So adding this transformer in my pom just worked, e.g.:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<transformers>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ServicesResourceTransformer"/>
</transformers>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...
</project>
Hope it helps!

Any Ideas what causes this?
This is a message from catalina.out file. Take a look at localhost.[date].log (e.g. localhost.2012-10-12.log). It should contain all details and stacktrace.
This may be the solution to your problem -
http://java.dzone.com/articles/tomcat-6-infamous-%E2%80%9Csevere
we had this error because of the log4j config. You need to change it to write to the tomcat log directory.
It seems it is now fixed in 2.1.4+ version of Grails. See http://grails.org/2.1.4%20Release%20Notes

I really don't understand whats going on here.
What these error messages say? Where I have went wrong?
There are other log files. If you use the http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-cloud-foundry/docs/manual/ref/Scripts/cf-list-files.html command you can get a directory listing. Run grails cf-list-files / to get a listing of the top-level directory (it'll contain a logs and a tomcat directory). The logs directory will probably just have the stderr and stdout files that you're already seeing, but there's another logs directory under the tomcat directory: grails cf-list-files /tomcat/logs. This should have other more informative log files. Also check if there's a stacktrace.log in the tomcat directory.
Once you've found a file you want to look at, use the http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-cloud-foundry/docs/manual/ref/Scripts/cf-get-file.html command to view them, e.g.
grails cf-get-file /tomcat/stacktrace.log
grails cf-get-file /tomcat/logs/catalina.2012-01-24.log
