Question

While deploying a GAE application, I get errors like:

Uncaught exception from servlet
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: Initialization failed.
    at com.google.apphosting.runtime.jetty.AppVersionHandlerMap.createHandler(AppVersionHandlerMap.java:211)

    at com.google.apphosting.runtime.ThreadGroupPool$PoolEntry.run(ThreadGroupPool.java:162)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679)

What would be the reason for that?

Answer 1

This has probably been caused by your servlet having failed its init method. There should be another stacktrace before this one with more details.
