Example default UrlMappings shown below.
When a file is not found, or an exception occurs, the "notFound" and "error" views should be rendered respectively. Either view results in an exception being thrown to the web server, due to the request no longer being active.

class UrlMappings {

    static mappings = {
        "/$controller/$action?/$id?(.$format)?"{
            constraints {
                // apply constraints here
            }
        }

        "/"(view:"/index")
        "500"(view:'/error')
        "404"(view:'/notFound')
    }
}

The below steps replicate the issue for a vanilla Grails 3 app with the "404" error code.

I've found a hacky workaround for "403" and "500" status codes by adding a /src/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file which instructs WebLogic which error pages to render for certain error codes. I'm having a very hard time getting this working for the 404 error code, but needless to say this a hack.

Task List

  • Steps to reproduce provided
  • Stacktrace (if present) provided
  • Example that reproduces the problem uploaded to Github
  • Full description of the issue provided (see below)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. grails "create-app"

  2. Add following content to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/weblogic.xml (required for deployment to weblogic)

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wls:weblogic-web-app
    xmlns:wls="http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd
    http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app
    http://xmlns.oracle.com/weblogic/weblogic-web-app/1.4/weblogic-web-app.xsd">
<wls:context-root>helloworld</wls:context-root>
<wls:container-descriptor>
    <wls:prefer-application-packages>
        <wls:package-name>org.slf4j</wls:package-name>
    </wls:prefer-application-packages>
</wls:container-descriptor>
</wls:weblogic-web-app>

  3. Set spring-boot-starter-tomcat to provided:
    provided "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat"

  4. "grails run-app" - works fine locally.

  5. "grails war".

  6. Deploy to WebLogic 12.1.3.

  7. Attempt to access a controller / action that does not exist, and would throw a 404 error.

Expected Behaviour

http://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/theWebLayer.html#mappingToResponseCodes
The default "404" UrlMapping should result in the "/notFound" view being rendered.

Actual Behaviour

The following stacktrace is rendered by WebLogic.

Environment Information

  • Operating System: Have attempted this at work in a more complex environment (WebLogic running on a Linux host), but have replicated at home on Windows 10 running WebLogic.
  • Grails Version: 3.1.11
  • JDK Version: 1.8.0_25 (have tried on a newer JDK version at work, I would have to verify later).
  • Container Version (If Applicable):

Example Application

  • Refer to steps above. Vanilla app with some basic weblogic configuration.
