I have developed a small web app with JavaSpark Mirco Framework. The app is almost done and works perfectly on my machine but when I pack it as a jar file, run the jar and open browser to retrieve index page I get a HTTP 500 error. Console shows Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /templates/index.hbs
at com.github.jknack.handlebars.io.URLTemplateLoader.sourceAt(URLTemplateLoader.java:70) ~[jar:rsrc:handlebars-4.0.6.jar!/:?]
at com.github.jknack.handlebars.Handlebars.compile(Handlebars.java:357) ~[jar:rsrc:handlebars-4.0.6.jar!/:?]
.... I have some experience in developing Java stuff. I tried a lot of ways in terms of absolute and relative path because I think this is the error cause but nothing seems to work. I think the problem is very easy to solve (provided that you know where the problem is). If someone help me or give me a hint, I will pay 0,003 BTC (or same $ amount in ETH if desired) if problem got fixed. Post here or pm me! |

I think it makes more sense to crunch coins than to mine them. So the computing power is used more meaningful and you still get coins. I currently know Gridcoin, Foldingcoin and Byteball where you can get coins for free if you provide computing power to crunch scientific working units. What other projects are there?
