We cannot resolve the views.

[davydotcom]

appears the warDeployed flag in the metadata is false. This would be why #584 would fail as well

[davydotcom]

for clarification the jar file can be run as a tomcat container too except the assets are in the wrong place.

[jeffscottbrown]

898e5ee may be relevant.

@davydotcom I believe this is fixed, I have tested the various scenarios, could you verify with the latest snapshot and if all is good will see if I have time for a quick 3.0.1?

[mgkimsal]

I've got this exact same problem with a fresh install of 3.0.1 today.
