Could ktor be deployed on jboss by packing it into a war file. I add a web.xml by following the document. It works on my local machine but failed on the remote test environment.

Do you deploy it into root context path? How exactly it is not working?

[Ameho Chan]

Yeah, I deployed the war into root context path. I use guice to init and load the ktor application. The deployment on jboss don't do anything after the jboss started until I request the index page from browser.

[Ameho Chan]

The log Successfully started the ctuom admin. didn't print after the jboss starting. When I request the index url on browser. A bunch of bootstrap log printed and finally the Successfully started the ctuom admin. showed.

[cy]

So, do you get 404 or something?

[cy]

or a blank page?

[Ameho Chan]

Nope. The main problem is that the ktor application in war don't fully start on jboss unless request any url of the ktor application.

[cy]

Why do you think that it's not correct? It is done as designed and is controlled by by load-on-startup web.xml parameter

[cy]

In the <servlet> section with ServletApplicationEngine you can specify <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

[cy]

Otherwise it is lazily initialized by a servlet container

[Ameho Chan]

Tks, this fixed my problems. 😁

[cy]

I believe you are the first one who tried to deploy it into JBoss container. Please let us know is something doesn't work

[cy]

btw, is it old JBoss or Wildfly?

[Ameho Chan]

Wildfly 8

[cy]

our integrations tests are running inside of Tomcat, Perhaps we can configure it for wildfly one day

[Ameho Chan]

I hope so. Besides servlet 3.0 don't require the web.xml. Could we have a ServletInitializer like spring boot.

[cy]

Ok, I did create https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/836

That's cool. Thanks for your help.
