Play Framework + tomcat

I need to run the play framework application on tomcat. i just made

./play war ganshla-ganshla -o ROOT.war --%production

then i add META-INF folder (because i tryed whithout it and got 404) i put context.xml into META_INF

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/ROOT"/>

So now i have an error on the page:

Application.index action not found

in the server log i have:

play.exceptions.ActionNotFoundException: Action Application.index not found

I am not sure that you need to worry about the Play context, as you are running your application as the ROOT. I tried this myself on one of my applications and it seemed to work fine, however the deployment options I used was slightly different.

The steps I took are

play new wartest

I then edited the index.html to show that something 'real' was getting deployed. So I just added a few lines of code, below.

#{extends 'main.html' /}
#{set title:'Home' /}

Welcome to my first tomcat-play application.

Finally I created the file to deploy.

play war wartest -o ROOT

This creates an exploded WAR file, and allows me to simply drop it into the Tomtact Webapps directory.

I did not need to use context, or META-INF. This was a simple test just to see it working, but as your app is not even showing the index page, I doubt you are even getting as far as my simple test has.

I tested this using

• Tomcat 7
• Java 6
• and Windows 7.

I suspect that your issue is with the naming of your ROOT.war file.
