Maven Cargo does not stop the container

Question

I have a maven project where I want to use the Cargo-Maven-Plugin (1.1.1) to start and stop a tomcat server to run integration tests.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId>
<artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>start-container</id>
        <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>start</goal>
        </goals>
    </execution>
    <execution>
        <id>stop-container</id>
        <phase>post-integration-test</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>stop</goal>
        </goals>
    </execution>
</executions>
<configuration>                 
    <container>                 
    <type>installed</type>
    <containerId>tomcat6x</containerId>
    <zipUrlInstaller>
        <url>http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.32.zip</url>
    </zipUrlInstaller>
</container>    
</configuration>
</plugin>

Starting of the server works fine, but stopping always failed.

I have tested it with several projects, add at least with an empty project (noting except an web.xml) but always the same result. I tested is with tomcat6, tomcat7 and even with embedded Jetty6 and 7, but always the same exception. I have added a delay of 5 seconds between start and stop (via a integration test), but this does not help.

When I have a look at the log files, and the running processes, it seem that the tomcat is stopped, but cargo did not notice it.

24.06.2011 17:38:07 org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina start
INFO: Server startup in 694 ms
24.06.2011 17:38:07 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol pause
INFO: Pausing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080
24.06.2011 17:38:08 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService stop
INFO: Stopping service Catalina
24.06.2011 17:38:08 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol destroy
INFO: Stopping Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-8080

So my question is:

• Do I something wrong?
• Is it a bug?
• Is there any workarround?

Answer 1

It could be that something else is listening on port 8080 on your machine. This would make cargo think that tomcat didn't stop. You can change the AJP port for tomcat via cargo configuration to something less common.
