Spring roo 1.3.2 throws NullPointerException when deployed (war) -> ajc$interMethodDispatch1

Very similar to this 2011 unanswered post

It's very strange, when I run the application in eclipse (debugging or not) it works just fine. The problem comes when ever I try to use the application with a deployed the war.

I just execute perform package in roo shell. The same way as before, when it used to be fine.

Any ideas about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hope someone can help, I've tried everything I could imagine.

i.e.: Updated STS and Roo, cleaned the project, updated the mave project (maven/Update project), deleted all the ITD's so they get re-generated. In the server tired deleting the deployed war, then restarted apache and deployed the war again. Tried rebooting the server.

In any method that consumes a remote rest service, when running the app with a deployed war in the server, I always get a NPE. The stack is something like the following:

java.lang.NullPointerException

Can't debug the problem, since it works fine in eclipse.

Have "Pivotal tc Server Developer Edition (Runtime v3.1)" -> "tomcat-7.0.59.B.RELEASE" in eclipse and apache-tomcat-7.0.42 in the server. Not easy to upgrade the server now. Do you think it could fix the problem?

Not sure what information to add here... I'm using 1.3.2.RELEASE [rev 8c2549b]

And here are some dependencies: enter image description here

Edit 1

I've just realized the perform package gives this warnings... I doubt it has anything to do with my problem, but here it goes:

perform package

Solution

  • Forget this question.

    The problem was the eclipse environment was using a different properties file than the tomcat application server that prevented the app to be able to connect to the remote Rest Service.

    In fact the code didn't handle the null condition well enough.

    To make it worse, the logging configuration also had a problem that prevented to show some error messages that could have pointed me in the right direction.

    Sorry for your time. If I could have deleted this question, I would have.
