It's not a standard feature for unpaid accounts, but you can make request for it. Please send your fully-qualified app ID and the wildcard you want to use to support@stax.net.
We set the java.awt.headless=true flag for your app and restarted it. Please see if that helps. If that doesn't do it, it's unlikely that there will be a way to overcome this issue for this app. :(
There is no way to configure/deploy native OS components for your app, but we can set the java.awt.headless=true system property for you, which is supposed to keep AWT calls from failing in most situations. I think we already tried that for your app…
150MB, yikes! In the meantime, you might want to consider moving your image files to Amazon S3. That will make them very fast to serve, and prevents you from needing to upload them to Stax when you deploy your app.
One thing that strikes me right away is that you have a copy of the servlet-api.jar file in your WEB-INF/lib folder, which is a big no-no. Does the behavior change if you move that jar out?
Here is a code snippet I often use to debug classpath problems. This will print out the location in disk that the specific class was loaded from. I usually throw this in a JSP and update the classname variable to the fully qualified classname I am t…
Unfortunatley, there isn't currently a way to deploy incremental changes, but this is a feature we want to add in the near future.
Can you private message me an example URL in your app that triggers this no class def error?
If you want to try to more closely mimic this error locally by running the exploded WAR via the Stax SDK, you can use the following command:
stax runwar -f…

Dedicated servers for your Stax applications
The Stax service now includes upgrades that improve production application security and reliability by allowing you to run dedicated servers on your own EC2 account. Dedicated servers are used only by your applications, so they are isolated from applications deployed by other Stax users and can take full advantage of the underlying computing resources.

New Stax maven archetype for Scala
We've seen a recent surge in interest from the Scala community, so we've created some new guides for getting started quickly with Scala and Lift on Stax.
If you've never heard of Scala, it's a "tastefully typed" programming language for the Java runtime that combines powerful features from both the object-oriented and functiona… Continue

Request for Maven Users
The Stax team has been working on a new set of tools for Java developers who use Apache Maven to manage their projects. We'd like to get an early version of this toolset into the hands of some Maven developers for some initial feedback and testing. If you are interested in using Maven to build and deploy your Stax applications, please check out this Stax Maven tutorial wiki page, and let us know how it goes. Please commen… Continue

Please let us know if you find any issues or have any questions.
Maintenance Notes:

Florin T.PATRASCU said… - Sure, I'll be interested to try creating a JPublish template. Also, a colleague of mine tried JPublish + Cayenne + mySql. The combination works like a charm and he is very happy for how friendly Stax is. Thanks again :)

- First of all thank you for allowing us to beta test Stax, many thanks for that and thank you for the Stax project! I already have few friends really interested in using Stax and requests from them to support JPublish as a Stax citizen. My immediate plan is to try Cayenne (my preferred ORM) some REST simple tests and DWR for AJAX; I am almost sure they'll all work nicely with Stax. Right now, I am able to successfully run a JPublish demo application containing the Velocity and the Freemarker template managers and using Beanshell and RHINO Javascript for the server side scripting support (Actions), I am very happy for this.
Second, I couldn't find a methodology for proposing a new Stax application template, but probably I wasn't reading the appropriate documentation. I would like to create a JPublish application template and I'll be more than happy to offer it to the Stax community.
I'll try to share my experience with Heroku, though Java by itself is not as friendly as Ruby (RAILS) is, from hosting perspective, therefore I am looking at Stax with a different mindset.
Even with the features available right now in Stax, we (Java developers) have already a beautiful environment to host our applications. But I will definitely share my thoughts with the Stax community.
Thanks again!

Carmine DiCostanzo said… - I thought I'd just pass on a project status. Development is progressing very well. I can easily work locally, create flex interfaces, java services and interact with MySql. Then deploy to stax. Once deployed the database access very fast, BlazeDS works great all POJOs come through fine. Your product is exactly the kind of environment I need. Well conceived and works great. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Edward M. Goldberg said… - I would kie to see my code deploy on many server in several Clouds.
If I could select the "Target" CLoud from a list like:
GoGrid
Mossio
Cloud9
AWS
...
This is a great start. My First Rails launch was easy and clean.

I read about your company from JohnBs blog.

Can I get an invitation to Stax and check it out?
