JRuby warbler "compiled" command produces ClassCastException in Tomcat


I'm using warbler to package my JRuby web app into a war file and am deploying it to Apache Tomcat 8.0.21. This works well. However, I'm trying to run warbler using the "compiled" command instead:

warble compiled war

When I deploy the resulting war file, I'm getting the following exception :

org.jruby.rack.RackInitializationException: load error: /apache-tomcat-8.0.21/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/config/boot -- java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Object cannot be cast to java.lang.invoke.SwitchPoint

How come the compiled version is producing an exception? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!


Solution

  • I think this was a bug related to the warbler gem. I just upgraded my JRuby version from 1.7.4 to 1.7.5 and also upgraded warbler from 1.4.3 to 1.4.8 and that fixed this issue.
