MyFaces tomcat7:run goal cannot start ProtocolHandler "http-bio-8080"

Question

I created a new MyFaces Project with the maven archetype HelloWorld 2.0 OpenWebBeans

and tested it instantly with mvn clean -Dcontainer="tomcat7" tomcat7:run. Everything goes well, until it comes to starting tomcat. The process get stuck at the following:

INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-bio-8080"]

I waited more then 20 minutes. this cannot be.

Info: There is no other service running on port 8080 and also no other tomcat is running.

Why does the ProtocolHandler not start?! I just want to develop a JSF Application with CDI and deploy it on Tomcat7, using Maven. If somebody has a better solution for me I - spit it out! ;)

Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks for the jstack trick, very cool feature! Here is the complete StackTrace from jstack: As I see the http-bio has an AsyncTimeout and is in TIMED_WAITING State...what can I do next? Thanks guys!

Answer 1

Try using jstack to get a dump of what all the threads are doing. It will show each thread and what method it is currently executing along with information on if it is running, waiting or blocked.

If you can update your question with that info, that would be helpful.

Side note, you can get MyFaces, OpenWebBeans and Tomcat all integrated together out of the box and Java EE 6 certified in TomEE
