Unable to deploy app to App engine - google-app-engine

I have a GWT based web application that I have previously uploaded to Appspot.
However now, I am getting this error:
Unable to update:
com.google.appengine.tools.admin.JspCompilationException: Failed to compile jsp files.

The application used JDK (not JRE)
There's a JSP file (dummy) on the war file
The application works in hosted mode

Do a clean build first. Alt+P, N in eclipse. If this fails, delete /war/WEB-INF/classes and try again. If this also fails, right click your war folder and select validate; this will tell you if there are any actual errors in your jsp files.
If this fails, your appengine jars may be corrupted. Try unzipping a fresh SDK and using it to deploy.
Also, have you changed java versions recently? Compiling JSPs requires JAVA_HOME points to a JDK, not a JRE. What is the result of echo $JAVA_HOME?

this thread will solve your problem
Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE
Other wise, you need to set your JAVA_HOME to point to your jdk folder and add javaw.exe path in your eclipse.ini

Make sure you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed in your computer.
Check if you have Java 8 installed, while trying to compile with Java 7, or viceversa. In other words, check if the JDK is set to the wrong version.
Make sure the JDK is FIRST in your Path, by placing %JAVA_HOME%\bin at the beginning of your Path in your System variables.

appcfg.cmd java version; 1.7 installed; 1.6 in path; tells me it needs 1.6 ti yokiad

I try to use this command to deploy my application to
appspot.google.com:
c:\a\appeng\bin\appcfg.cmd --use_java7 update c:\a\u3e
Generates the error messsage.
C:\a>c:\a\appeng\bin\appcfg.cmd --use_java7 update c:\a\u3e
Registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment\CurrentVersion'
has value '1.7', but '1.6' is required.
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.
I tried setting the path to use the Java 1.6 SDK we downloaded
but that did not help or change any thing.
The web resources talk about what version of Java is used
by the application once it appears on Google's servers; I
did not see anything about the Java version for the upload
process including developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/gettingstarted/uploading and developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/uploadinganapp#Command_Line_Arguments as well as searching this site specifically and checking google.
Can I deploy
an application from the computer in my house without
deinstalling the Java 1.7 I use for other purposes?
Thank you for looking at this question. I resolved the problem. It was not related to Google Application Development
Server. It was a difficult-to-resolve path problem to the directory where the Java executables were kept.

GAE: Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE

When trying to deploy my application to the Google App Engine server I get the following error:
Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE.
All solutions I've seen for this involve editing an eclipse configuration file, but I'm not using eclipse. I'm executing appcfg.cmd from the dos prompt. I have a jdk installed and my JAVA_HOME is pointing to it:
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_43
Obviously appcfg.cmd is not looking at JAVA_HOME. It must be getting the JDK location from somewhere else.
Any ideas?
As noted in the comments: Make sure the JDK is FIRST in your PATH.
I had the same issue with appengine sdk 1.8.1 and sts 3.6.4.
I tried adding vm properties to sts.ini file, added %JAVA_HOME% to the beginning of the path variable. But nothing was working as I kept getting the same error.
Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE
Then I found the issue was with Windows\system32\java* file. The appengine was reading the java from Windows\system32.
There were three files.
java.exe
javaw.exe
javaws.exe
I replaced these files from JAVA JDK home as they were from JAVA JRE home during installation. After that, I restarted my sts and everything worked fine as I am able to deploy without issue.

Grails MS SQLServer 2008 jdbc driver causes problems in tomcat

What is the official way to use the microsoft jdbc driver for mssql in a grails application?
The general opinion that I found through googling is that I only have to drop the jar in the lib directory of the grails app. This works if I do a grails clean and grails compile --refresh-dependencies. But when I deploy on a real server I have two problems.
When redeploying there is this a warning in the logs.
24.05.2013 16:03:03 com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.AuthenticationJNI
WARNUNG: Failed to load the sqljdbc_auth.dll cause : no sqljdbc_auth in java.library.path
I'm not sure if its something to care about since its a warning. But I would like to have my logs clean and I have the dll in the lib directory of the application just as google is saying. Additionally on redeployment there are several messages like this that might relate to the first one:
24.05.2013 16:03:02 org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader clearThreadLocalMap
SCHWERWIEGEND: A web application created a ThreadLocal with key of type [org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GroovyCategorySupport.MyThreadLocal] (value [org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GroovyCategorySupport$MyThreadLocal#76fe8d1b]) and a value of type [null] (value [null]) but failed to remove it when the web application was stopped. To prevent a memory leak, the ThreadLocal has been forcibly removed.
And the last thing is that my coworker said, that she thinks the driver should not be installed on a per application basis but directly into tomcat. I actually don't know how to do this, but if I did it, this would cause a problem on the development machine since I don't know how to get grails run-app going without the driver in the applications lib directory.
You can still place the library in the lib folder of your project and just exclude this from the war generation.
You don't need to exclude the jar everytime you build your project, just follow this post tip.
In your Tomcat server the jar will be placed in the shared lib folder instead of each web application.
If after that you still get the warning about sqljdbc_auth.dll you will need to locate this file and add the folder in the Tomcat classpath (or copy to Tomcat lib folder).

unable to deploy after upgrading to 1.7.4

I upgraded today to GAE 1.7.4 and on trying to deploy I see following error:
Preparing to deploy:
Created staging directory at: 'C:\Users\VSKUMA~1.ST-\AppData\Local\Temp\appcfg4811921061542689032.tmp'

java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot get the System Java Compiler. Please use a JDK, not a JRE.
I already have JDK pointing in the build path and this all was working fine till GAE 1.7.3
I cannot uninstall the existing GREs for some reasons.
For me at least, forcing Eclipse to use a different vm itself worked. Add, for example:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\<jdk1.6.0_38>\bin\javaw.exe
to the first two lines* of the eclipse.ini file and restart Eclipse.
*Thanks to Andre
finally i uninstalled jre manually and this only helped me to get through this
Yes #Vik, i had this problem when updating to GAE 1.7.3 and the solution to the problem is to reinstall the JRE... but! if you are working with Eclipse, and this doesn´t work either, try reintalling the whole IDE. (i had to do so, and it worked for me ¬¬ )
