VAADIN Push not available with tomcat8 embedded

Question

I created a simple test application:

import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.apache.catalina.Context;
import org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException;
import org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat;

public class Main {
  private final static Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName());
  private final static String mWorkingDir = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir");
  private static Tomcat tomcat = null;

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    tomcat = new Tomcat();
    tomcat.setPort(8080);
    tomcat.setBaseDir(mWorkingDir);
    tomcat.getHost().setAppBase(mWorkingDir);
    tomcat.getHost().setAutoDeploy(true);
    tomcat.getHost().setDeployOnStartup(true);

    try {
      tomcat.start();
    } catch (LifecycleException e) {
      LOGGER.severe("Tomcat could not be started.");
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    LOGGER.info("Tomcat started on " + tomcat.getHost());

    // Alternatively, you can specify a WAR file as last parameter in the following call e.g. "C:\\Users\\admin\\Desktop\\app.war"    
    Context appContext = Main.getTomcat().addWebapp(Main.getTomcat().getHost(), "/app", System.getProperty("user.dir")+"\\Whys.war");
    LOGGER.info("Deployed " + appContext.getBaseName() + " as " + appContext.getBaseName());

    tomcat.getServer().await();
  }

  public static Tomcat getTomcat(){
      return tomcat;
  }
}

When I start this from eclipse, everything works fine, but when I export this to a runnable jar and run it I get this error :

HTTP Status 500 - com.vaadin.server.ServiceException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Push is not available. See previous log messages for more information.

Here is the entire call stack :

AVERTISSEMENT:
=================================================================
Atmosphere could not be loaded. When using push with Vaadin, the
Atmosphere framework must be present on the classpath.
If using a dependency management system, please add a dependency
to vaadin-push.
If managing dependencies manually, please make sure Atmosphere
2.1.2.vaadin6 is included on the classpath.
Will fall back to using PushMode.DISABLED.
=================================================================

I tried to add javax.websocket-api-1.1.jar to libraries but nothing changed, still same error.

I don't know where is the problem, maybe I need to add something else, but at the moment I don't know what.

EDIT:

I don't use Maven/Gradle, for the tomcat8 embedded I downloaded on tomcat8 website everything needed, and for the test application war I used one of my projects, working fine with Tomcat8 non-embedded.

Answer 1

I think this issue is caused by any Jetty libraries included in classpath. They could be inside any other java jar - so you should analyse all dependencies of your application by some tool (even IDE integrated).

My suspicions is also based on Vaadin Configuration tutorial. Please look there - especially at Tomcat 8 section.

Edit: When enabling Vaadin Push, please look also at official wiki. There are described all changes which should be made in project (dependencies, UI annotation, web.xml).
