I am trying to run jython servlets on Windows. I can’t run even the most simple HelloWorld.py. I get the following 500 error:
message Servlet.init() for servlet [PyServlet] threw exception
...
description Le serveur a rencontré une erreur interne qui l''a empêché de satisfaire la requête.

ImportError: Cannot import site module and its dependencies: No module named site
Determine if the following attributes are correct:
* sys.path: ['C:\\apache-tomcat-8.5.24\\webapps\\jython\\WEB-INF\\lib\\Lib', '__classpath__', '__pyclasspath__/']
This attribute might be including the wrong directories, such as from CPython
* sys.prefix: C:\apache-tomcat-8.5.24\webapps\jython\WEB-INF\lib
This attribute is set by the system property python.home, although it can
be often automatically determined by the location of the Jython jar file
You can use the -S option or python.import.site=false to not import the site module

Jython is deployed under C:\jython2.7.0
My very basic webapp is under C:\apache-tomcat-8.5.24\webapps\jython
jython.jar
(not the standalone jar) is copied asC:\apache-tomcat-8.5.24\webapps\jython\WEB-INF\lib\jython.jar
My web.xml
is taken from http://www.jython.org/javadoc/org/python/util/PyServlet.html:
<!-- C:\apache-tomcat-8.5.24\webapps\jython\WEB-INF\web.xml -->
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" version="3.1">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>PyServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.python.util.PyServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>python.home</param-name>
<param-value>C:\\jython2.7.0</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>PyServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.py</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
The error message says it, the wrong directory is included in sys.path
. python.home
is not taken from my initialization parameter (why so?), it is guessed from the location of jython.jar
.
PyServlet
initialization
I had a look at the initialization code for PyServlet
:
@Override
public void init() {
Properties props = new Properties();
// Config parameters
Enumeration<?> e = getInitParameterNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String)e.nextElement();
props.put(name, getInitParameter(name));
}
// ...
init(props, getServletContext());
}
reset();
}
/**
* PyServlet's initialization can be performed as a ServletContextListener or as a regular
* servlet, and this is the shared init code. If both initializations are used in a single
* context, the system state initialization code only runs once.
*/
protected static void init(Properties props, ServletContext context) {
String rootPath = getRootPath(context);
context.setAttribute(INIT_ATTR, true);
Properties baseProps = PySystemState.getBaseProperties();
// Context parameters
Enumeration<?> e = context.getInitParameterNames();
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String)e.nextElement();
props.put(name, context.getInitParameter(name));
}
if (props.getProperty("python.home") == null
&& baseProps.getProperty("python.home") == null) {
props.put("python.home", rootPath + "WEB-INF" + File.separator + "lib");
}
PySystemState.initialize(baseProps, props, new String[0]);
// ...
PySystemState.add_classdir(rootPath + "WEB-INF" + File.separator + "classes");
PySystemState.add_extdir(rootPath + "WEB-INF" + File.separator + "lib", true);
}
I would expect the python.home
initialization parameter to be added as a property and that property to be used to construct the sys.path
as shown in the JavaDoc!
What am I missing?
