[!] You are binding to a loopback address by setting LHOST to 127.0.0.1. Did you want ReverseListenerBindAddress?
[*] Started reverse TCP handler on 127.0.0.1:4444
[-] Exploit failed: Msf::NoCompatiblePayloadError Failed to generate an executable payload due to an invalid platform or arch.
[*] Exploit completed, but no session was created.

It doesn't work with Java payloads (ironically the default target), since you can't generate_payload_exe on them.

Tried again for you and fixed.
