Hello List,

I am attempting, for the first time, to deploy an application to Tomcat. The deployment server is not under my control and will offer Tomcat only (no JBoss). I don't expect that to be a problem given that this is a pure WO application with no EJB stuff or JSP or anything like that.

I am currently working on a test system running Mac OS X Server (10.4.8) and deploying my application to /Library/Tomcat/webapps.

Initially all seems well. The program runs by accessing http:// localhost:9006/MyApp/WebObjects/MyApp.woa. My application first checks the database and if certain tables are empty it performs some basic configuration by inserting some enumeration data. All this works well. I get data in my MySQL database.

Then I get the "Welcome" page, which works fine. Now when I click a hyperlink that links to any page that has instance variables tied to the component through bindings I get the following error.

--------------------------------------------
Error:
com.webobjects.foundation.NSForwardException [com.webobjects.foundation.NSKeyValueCoding$UnknownKeyException] [ takeValueForKey()]: attempt to assign value to unknown key: 'displayGroup'. This WOComponent does not have an instance variable of the name displayGroup or _displayGroup, nor a method of the name setDisplayGroup or _setDisplayGroup
--------------------------------------------

I know my keys are good because this all works fine using the normal WebObjects deployment.

I also looked at catalina.out in the log file where I get the follow error:
--------------------------------------------
- <com.webobjects.appserver._private.WOComponentRequestHandler>: Exception occurred while handling request: com.webobjects.foundation.NSForwardException [com.webobjects.foundation.NSForwardException] null
--------------------------------------------

This is a very basic application. If I had control of the deployment server I would definitely not be trying Tomcat. I would just deploy the normal way and all would be fine.

This is seriously about to drive my way from WebObjects for this small project. Don't get me wrong, I love WO, but I'm about to throw in the hat on this one. Ruby on Rail is starting to look very attractive about now. And that's available on this server too.

Please help end my frustration so I can get this simple application deployed. Thanks a million as always.
