I have a Spring MVC web application that should be deployed on Tomcat server. It gets deployed when I run it from terminal i.e., maven build and then copying and pasting the .war file in webapps folder of Tomcat. But when I build and run the same application in Intellij using Smart Tomcat plugin I get NullPoiinterException error. I do not how to debug it. I am new to Spring MVC. I have attaches the stacktract.txt file.

stacktrace.txt

  • I was able to resolve this by opening the IntelliJ settings -> Build, Execution, and Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle: From here I needed to update the selected gradle and SDK values. The ones from my project were incorrect, likely checked into version control that way. - https://github.com/raniejade/spek-idea-plugin/issues/30 – Sahin Yanlık Feb 25 '19 at 08:04
  • I am using Maven. I followed the same steps for Maven. Even then I am getting the error. – Lax_Sam Feb 25 '19 at 08:20

This error occurs in the third-party Smart Tomcat plug-in, you should report it here.

Disabling the plug-in should help. Use the built-in Tomcat integration in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

    I am using IntelliJ Community edition. How can I make it run in that? – Lax_Sam Feb 25 '19 at 08:14
  • IntelliJ IDEA CE doesn't have Tomcat integration. If you have a problem with the Smart Tomcat plug-in, you should report it to the vendor. – CrazyCoder Feb 25 '19 at 08:14
  • Ok. If I should make it work in CE then should I manually deploy the .war file in the webapps folder of tomcat? – Lax_Sam Feb 25 '19 at 08:21
  • All the available options were already listed in [this answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/38266010/104891). – CrazyCoder Feb 25 '19 at 08:23
  • I am getting an error even after running the application in Eclipse. I cannot use Jetty because the requirement specifies to use Tomcat. – Lax_Sam Feb 25 '19 at 08:29
  • You can still use Gradle or Maven to deploy and run your app on Tomcat. – CrazyCoder Feb 25 '19 at 08:30
  • Ok. I do not know how to do it yet. I will check that. – Lax_Sam Feb 25 '19 at 08:48
