Problems to return in Openshift JSON object with Spring framework

Question

I have an application in Java with Tomcat 7 (JBoss EWS 2.0), PostgreSQL 9.2 and Spring framework. It consists in a REST web service that get requests from an Android client and returns JSON objects.

I have deployed succesfully the pre compiled java applications (ROOT.war) in the Openshift's directory "~/app-root/runtime/repo/webapps/" by ssh and created the database in Openshift.

My application works fine in local, but it doesn't when I execute it in Openshift: http://jbossews-roteiro.rhcloud.com/usuarios/1. In the log appears an exception message of type "Could not get JDBC connection: nested exception is java.sql.Exception".

java.lang.Exception: Se ha producido un error al ejecutar el método UsuarioServiceImpl$verUsuario(1): Could not get JDBC Connection; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:postgresql://$OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_PORT/jbossews

I was reading some related posts and I think that the problem is in the configuration of PostgreSQL included in Spring or in the file "~/app-root/repo/repo/.openshift/config/context.xml". I also check that the PostgreSQL connector is included in the library folder.

The content of ROOT.war is:

/img/*
/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

/WEB-INF/lib/*
/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml

Next time, please post your stack trace and not a link to a picture of it. The stack trace tells you there's no suitable driver found which is a common error. — Brian Roach, Jan 11 '14 at 15:36

I think you are trying to get username/password from properties file or some other place. you are putting username as "${OPENSHIFT_POSTGRESQL_DB_USERNAME}". remove " from value or put username/password directly here.

Finally I solved my problem editing the Spring configuration file **/WEB-INF/applicationDatasource.xml** as: **jdbc/PostgreSQLDS** is already defined in the my Openshift's server file *context.xml*. – burus86 Jan 11 '14 at 21:01
