Tomcat exception - java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

Question

Tomcat (v 7.0.54) itself is running fine, I can access and work with the manager-gui app. However, my main web app will simply not run. I have not modified the default server.xml or web.xml at all. WAR file (in my case, pp.war) is auto-deployed fine as well. I've read other SO threads that refer to port issues, but I'm stumped since the manager app is working OK. Exception displayed in the browser is:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Faces Servlet] in context with path [/pp] threw exception

EDIT:

In faces-config.xml, the version info is listed in the root node as:

<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0>

In web.xml, faces servlet config looks like this:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

Also, web.xml's root node:

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" 
version="2.5">

And the servlet-mapping nodes:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>PhpJavaServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.phpjavabridge</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>PhpCGIServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

Answer 1

您的应用似乎正在尝试通过HttpClient连接网址，因此，请检查您的网络配置，即代理设置，确保您的应用可以访问互联网！

Answer 2

Does your web faces web app connect to another target site during start-up? Do check that. This one looks like a http connection exception in the application, unless it is a tomcat bug iteslf.

Answer 3

I don't think your JSF servlet is configured correctly. If you are using Tomcat 7, your web.xml should specify the servlet 3.0 specification.

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"  
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
                             http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"  
         version="3.0">
