IntelliJ IDEA: Tomcat 8.5.13 and 9.0.0.M19 — Error during artifact deployment. See server log for details

Question

I can't understand what happened. There was no problem 2 days ago and now I can't deploy my applications. Any of it. The only thing I've done regarding network was plugging my laptop in other socket in the house using ethernet wire, nothing else. I tried almost every solution I found here and nothing helped.

Logs:

Disconnected from server

When i attempt to connect to "localhost:8080" i get a message about connection being REJECTED and "Disconnected from server" message in logs. There is nothing useful in the logs (no warnings/errors). This issue is in EVERY of my JEE applications.

As I said a tried many solutions from here EXCEPT the one with changing the value of %JAVA_OPTS% env var because I've got no 'setenv.bat' file anywhere in Tomcat directory and in Catalina.bat this variable seems to be set properly.
I'm quite new to this kind of technology and I am a little afraid to start tweaking around in stuff I don't know.

What could be causing this issue? What are the possible solutions?

Answer 1

There appears to a be a deployment issue with the most recent Tomcat versions from IntelliJ IDEA. We have an open bug for that with the patched files attached that you can use to workaround the problem:

• IDEA-171174 Tomcat 9.0.0.M19: failed to deploy simple WAR artifact

You can find the patched jar of IntelliJ IDEA Tomcat plug-in, replace <IDEA_HOME>/plugins/Tomcat/lib/tomcatIntegration.jar with it.

The original issue is caused by this Tomcat bug:

• Bug 60949 - unable to deploy/undeploy war file using the manager

This bug is resolved in the following Tomcat versions:

• 8.5.14 and later
• 9.0.0.M20 and later

It's recommended to either wait for/install the fixed Tomcat versions or to revert back to the versions which are not affected by the bug (5.8.12 and 9.0.0.M18), since the workaround for IntelliJ IDEA uses some dirty hacks to make it work with Tomcat 5.8.13 and 9.0.0.M19 which are affected by Bug 60949 (broken JMX).

Answer 2

I was using Spring application and deploying with Tomcat. What was solved my problem is to put this annotation to SpringApplication class which app starts from that class.

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {DataSourceAutoConfiguration.class })
