After running Spring boot app with 'webapp-runner' it's stoping on a line “INFO: Starting ProtocolHandler [”http-nio-8080“]”

Question

I need to deploy the applocation to heroku, and it was created with Spring Boot, because of this I have added ther a webapp-runner.jar plugin, and now it's inposible to run on Heroku, and in a local machine I am getting the same issue if I am running it from cmd with using webapp-runner.jar.

Now I am using version of runner 9.0.24.0, beforhand I was trying ti run it in version 8...

That is my plugin in pom.xml

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <source>1.8</source>
          <target>1.8</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals><goal>copy</goal></goals>
            <configuration>
              <artifactItems>
                <artifactItem>
                  <groupId>com.github.jsimone</groupId>
                  <artifactId>webapp-runner</artifactId>
                  <version>9.0.24.0</version>
                  <destFileName>webapp-runner.jar</destFileName>
                </artifactItem>
              </artifactItems>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

That is my Procfile

web: java $JAVA_OPTS -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar --port $PORT target/*.war

That is my log from cmd

It should run it with comand from Procfile as in a local machine, and in a Heroku. How I can to resolve that issue?

Answer 1

This article have helped me a lot in the past, might be useful for you as well.

• Change directory to where Tomcat is installed, then go to bin .
• Open catalina.sh file using any editor that you like like nano or vim .
• Look for JAVA_OPTS and add this line:

-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom
