Deployment of EJB3Trail.ear example

[jbosschecker]

Trying the EJB3Trail.ear example from http://www.jboss.com/docs/trailblazer
with jboss4.0.3, I got the error below (within jboss):

Does someone know why?

I get the same error message on my JBoss AS 4.0.3RC1 when deploying EJB3Trail.ear. Is this perhaps a configuration issue? The operating system is Suse Linux 9.3.

You need to be using Java 1.5.

[jbosschecker]

I am already working with jdk1.5.0_03, and I have even tested the jdk1.5.0_04.
I can not imagine, the jdk is the problem.

[ryan.campbell]

Did you use the installer for jboss installation or the standard distribution (jboss-4.0.3RC1.tar.gz/zip)?

The jboss-4.0.3RC1.tar.gz/zip does not contain EJB3 because it needs to be j2se 1.3 compatible.

For 4.0.3 Final, we plan to have a seperate zip distribution built with jdk 1.5 in addition to the standard distribution.

You can install JBoss using the installer via webstart here:
http://jboss.sourceforge.net/jnlp/jboss-4.0.3RC1-installer.jnlp

or at the normal sourceforge download site.

I have tried to use the web-installer, but it didn't work... So I had to take the jar version.....

In the meantime, I became successful on my secound machine, with 90% exactly the same configurations..
Now I am sreaching the reason, why it works on my other pc, but not on my first one, with nearly the same configuration!!

thanx

[gruenewa]

Thank you very much! Using the webstart installer the demo runs now :-)

[jbosschecker]

I have tried it once more (installing jboss 4.0.3 with the installer) exactly as gruenewa tolde me (to run the jboss-4.0.3RC1-installer.jnlp with javaws ...) but it does not work properly.... the java logo appears for 9-10 sec. and it disappears again!!

I first thought, that the firewall ist the problem, and allowed javaws to get through ... but again the same behavior ...

[ryan.campbell]

Are you prompted to trust Norman Richards? Or does it even get that far? If not, it would seem you have a bad java webstart installation, or something wrong with your network.

Also, make sure you are running a 1.5 jre.

[jbosschecker]

Now I've found the reason, why I was not able to use the web-installer! Although I had my firewall adjusted to let the javaws.exe getting out, it didn't let it out!

Switching off the fire wall (zone alarm), I've got jboss-4.0.3 now installed with the web-installer, BUT I have the same problem, hier ist the error message from jboss:

mbeans:

I've chosen the "ejb" profile being installed... But next time I#m going to try the "all" profile.. in all likelihood it will fail again!!

[ryan.campbell]

This error message just says the deployment failed, but it doesn't say why. There's probably a stack trace you could post that would be helpful.

Also, I'm assuming you removed the previous installation before installing the new one in the same location?

[jbosschecker]

I know well, that It sounds very dodgy, but I've got it, after uninstalling jdk 1.5.0.3 and installing the newer one - jdk 1.5.0.4 - !!

The EJB3Trail is running!
