Exception while accessing HTTPSReceiverServlet

Question

I was trying to configure UGC on the deployer service, but had to revert back. However, now I get the below exception when I try to access the URL: //websitelink/httpupload.

I checked the license and it had a valid period. I haven't modified anything except add additional JARs for UGC. I reverted all the configuration XML files back. I have googled this exception, but I don't see any working solution.

Thanks

update

I am trying to configure the same content delivery jsp application with following server roles on the same jsp web application - content deployer, HTTP upload, content delivery web service and later on I will add UGC. When I try to access http://deployer/httpupload I get 404 error

update

Ok so based on the feedback by Nickoli I will keep the deployer as a seperate jsp app. Configure two separate Odata apps with ADF enabled and on separate JVM, and my JSP website on a separate JVM

Answer 1

The error in your stacktrace

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.tridion.storage.StorageManagerFactory 

is indicative of there being something wrong with your cd_storage_conf.xml or the values/properties specified within. Check your that your cd_storage_conf.xml is valid and has correct values.

Also, if you update your question with the web.xml and the cd_storage_conf we can take a closer look. Note, the web.xml file does specify the URL filter pattern for the servlet, so there may be an issue there in regards to the 404 you're seeing; and the cd_storage_conf may still have remnants of the UGC configs (did you fully comment them out?).

Answer 2

Tridion ships with XML schemas for all the content delivery configuration files. Validating the files against the schemas should be a big help in finding what's wrong.
