[khteh]

IllegalStateException thrown when GraphQL project built as WAR deployed to Tomcat 9:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serverEndpointExporter' defined in class path resource [com/oembedler/moon/graphql/boot/GraphQLWebAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.websocket.server.ServerContainer not available

Relevant bug and suggested fix in spring.io: https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-12109

Relevant bug and suggested fix in spring.io: https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-12109 doesn't work on Tomcat 9.

[oliemansm]

@khteh You're referencing an apparently known bug in Spring about this. So sounds like they are working on a fix for that one. What do you expect by opening this issue here then? Is there something now that needs to be updated here to fix it?

[khteh]

@oliemansm, can you provide a link to the known issue in spring? Thanks.

@oliemansm I have the same issue by WAR deploy with Tomcat 8.5.35

Hi, I don't know if this info could be useful
I got the same error:

@shinobi81 Your issue should be fixed with the next release 5.7.2. And hopefully that will fix the issue for this original issue regarding WAR deployment as well, but not sure about that.

[khteh]

When is the estimated release date?

This weekend, maybe today even. Just going through the several projects to see if there are any issues I can fix and include. If you have a clone of the project you could pull in the latest changes and build a local snapshot to verify if it's working for you.

Hello~ I'm using dependencies below, but got error:

spring-boot version : 2.1.4.RELEASE
graphql-spring-boot-starter version : 5.8.1

I avoided the error in the following ways.

-@SpringBootApplication
+@SpringBootApplication(exclude = {
+    GraphQLWebsocketAutoConfiguration.class
+})
public class Application extends SpringBootServletInitializer {
...
}

Seems issue resolved after I upgrade spring boot from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6.

[oliemansm]

Good to hear @sutra!

[oliemansm]

@khteh Can you verify that upgrading Spring Boot to 2.1.6.RELEASE fixes the issue for you too?

[khteh]

Ok. I will verify and close it if it works. Recently changed to .net core role.

Seems issue resolved after I upgrade spring boot from 2.1.5 to 2.1.6.

Seems not works every time.
Added graphql.servlet.websocket.enabled=false in application.properties now, and get it working. See

@ConditionalOnProperty(value = "graphql.servlet.websocket.enabled", havingValue = "true", matchIfMissing = true)

in com.oembedler.moon.graphql.boot.GraphQLWebsocketAutoConfiguration.

Now the question is why the matchIfMissing is set to true?

[slavap]

Tomcat 8.5.35, Spring Boot 2.2.1, graphql-spring-boot-starter 5.11.0
Getting this error, only graphql.servlet.websocket.enabled=false helps.

[shinobi81]

Tomcat 9.0.31 should fix this bug
spring-projects/spring-framework#22131

[azunke]

Thanks @slavap Your solution worked. Everything was ok with me locally using Oracle JDK. But as soon as i moved to OpenJDK, it started giving me error. The solution @slavap provided worked.

[oliemansm]

So proven solution is to set graphql.servlet.websocket.enabled=false for this situation.
