I’m trying to deploy someone else’s project for the first time. More detail below. It looks like it can’t find the SSO config file, which I’ve put in ~tomcat/conf/studentmarks-sso-config.xml. The reference in web.xml is:</p> <blockquote> <p> ssoclient.config /studentmarks-sso-config.xml </p> </blockquote> <p>Here’s a bit of the trace:</p> <p>16:17:32,338 INFO [org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy] Filter ‘authorisedUsersFilter’ configured successfully 16:17:32,347 WARN [uk.ac.warwick.sso.client.SSOClientFilter] Could not find sso config in servlet context attribute SSO-CONFIG; attempting to load sso config 16:17:32,356 WARN [uk.ac.warwick.sso.client.SSOConfigLoader] Could not find config as path is null 16:17:32,358 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/studentmarks]] Exception starting filter SSOClientFilter java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not setup configuration at uk.ac.warwick.sso.client.SSOConfigLoader.loadSSOConfig(SSOConfigLoader.java:62) at uk.ac.warwick.sso.client.SSOConfigLoader.loadSSOConfig(SSOConfigLoader.java:98) at uk.ac.warwick.sso.client.SSOClientFilter.init(SSOClientFilter.java:88) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterConfig.getFilter(ApplicationFilterConfig.<a rel="nofollow">java:221</a>)</p> Tue, 30 Nov 2010 17:02:17 GMT A guest user 094d43a23c3dda8f013c618daded6c98
