1. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
peterj Dec 1, 2008 11:58 AM (in response to dejanmr)First, the warning "The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found" can be ignored - the app server will work just fine without it.
Second, if you want to load APR, then get JBoss Native from http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/downloads/jboss-native-archive. Download the 2.0.3 version*. You can unzip it directly into the jboss_home directory, but I recommend instead unzipping it to a temporary location and then copying the files over - the zip file contains a 'bin' directory, copy the contents of that directory to jboss_home/bin.
*NOTE: The 2.0.3 version is the last version that places files in the location expected by the run scripts in 4.2.x. You can probably use a later version of JBoss Native, but you would have to modify the run scripts to change the library path. -

dejanmr Dec 1, 2008 6:00 PM (in response to dejanmr)Thanks for the help, this was quick!
This solved the issue. I need APR for some SSL stuff.
However, I could not make it work before I copied all the files from jboss_home/bin/native folder to jboss_home/bin. Is this me doing something wrong? Is there any path or similar to set to make it work with .dlls in jboss_home/bin/native folder
According both to this answer and article on the page I have mentioned in initial post (tested on Windows) it should just work, without further movement of files.
Thanks. -
3. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
peterj Dec 1, 2008 7:46 PM (in response to dejanmr)The run script, when it finds bin/native, adds bin/native to PATH and to java.library.path. So it should just work with the files located in bin/native. Or are you not using run.bat to start the app server?

I was not, I was running it from eclipse.
Thanks for the help. -
5. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
peterj Dec 3, 2008 11:43 AM (in response to dejanmr)There's your problem. I'm not sure of the exact mechanism Eclipse uses to run JBoss AS, but it probably runs it directly, and does not call run.bat. In that case, the path was never set correctly. You could always change the PATH setting in My Computer > Properties to include the native library directory.
Personally, I would not even bother. As I said earlier, APR is not required, rather it is a (supposed) performance enhancement. If you are running JBoss AS within Eclipse you do not need this enhancement. -
6. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
wstrater1 Dec 8, 2008 4:57 PM (in response to dejanmr)I am having a slightly different problem. It is finding the native directory but not APR.
I run JBoss and it reports that it can not find APR in a bunch of directories. I download jboss-native-2.0.6-linux2-x86-ssl.tar.gz and follow the instructions on http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9912 which has me moving files from META-INF/lib/linux2/x86 to jboss/bin/native and META-INF/bin/linux2/x86 to jboss/bin. It finds the native directory but not APR.

7. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
peterj Dec 8, 2008 7:42 PM (in response to dejanmr)Which version of JBoss Native are you using? The run script assumes that the shared objects in JBoss Native are located at a certain directory. Unfortunately, the directory structure of JBoss Native changed, I think in 2.0.3. The JBoss AS 4.2.x run scripts assume the pre 2.0.3 directory structure. You can either:
a) change the run scripts to use the new directory structure (look at the JBoss AS 5.0 run script - it uses the new structure)
b) revert to 2.0.2 (or whatever the last version was that had the old directory structure)
Note that you do not need APR to run JBoss AS - it runs just fine without it. Note that the log message was of type "info", not "warning" or "error". -
8. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
wstrater1 Dec 9, 2008 8:05 AM (in response to dejanmr)I downloaded jboss-native-2.0.6-linux2-x86-ssl.tar.gz. The download page only lists 2.0.6.
The Wiki page is for JBoss AS 4.2 and covers Native 2.0.0 and has additional directions for Native 2.0.4 which I followed. I listed the contents of the bin directory using the same technique as the wiki. I noticed the wiki had version numbers for some of the libraries but other than that, they appeared to be similar.
The libraries in bin/native and bin/native/engines are owned by the user running JBoss AS and are either 755 or 555.

10. Re: Apache Portable Runtime (APR) on Jboss 4.2.3 GA
wstrater1 Dec 10, 2008 9:21 AM (in response to dejanmr)Thanks for the help. I did not find 2.0.2 so I used to 2.0.3 and loaded.
I still have issues with HTTPS since I need to make some configuration changes to connector but I probably will just leave it undefined. I found some useful information on following page http://www.jboss.org/file-access/default/members/jbossweb/freezone/docs/2.1.0/apr.html.
Thanks, Wes.
