JNDI problem on AIX 4.3

[paulgammon]

Hi, I'm having difficulty confirming that JMS is working
in my 3.2.1 JBoss installation on AIX with Java 1.3.1. I
have written a simple test application that fails
looking up OIL2ConnectionFactory. The following
exception is thrown

Exception in thread "main" javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: OIL2ConnectionFactory not bound
at sun.rmi.transport.StreamRemoteCall.exceptionReceivedFromServer(StreamRemoteCall.java:257)
at sun.rmi.transport.StreamRemoteCall.executeCall(StreamRemoteCall.java:232)

at end_to_end.initialiseJMS(end_to_end.java:57)
at end_to_end.main(end_to_end.java:16)


Examing JNDIView in the jmx-console seems to show
that a portion of the global JNDI namespace is
missing. It looks as if the list method errored midway
through. Below is all that is display

+- UserTransaction (class: org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ClientUserTransaction)

| +- mgmt (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
| | +- MEJB (proxy: $Proxy28 implements interface javax.management.j2ee.ManagementHome,interface javax.ejb.Handle)

I have confirmed that this JBoss installation works in
Solaris and HP-UX 1.3 Java environments so I believe
the test application and installation are OK. Java 1.4 is
not available on AIX 4.3 so this is not an option. I
have also tried disabling the JIT compiler.

Any help appreciated.

Have you check the server.log for errors
during bootup?

[paulgammon]

Thanks for the reply.

There are a number of exceptions thrown on startup.
Below is a list of exceptions and the facilities that
raise them.

java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
-----------------------------------------------------
org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.RARDeployment
org.jboss.mail.MailService
org.jboss.tm.TransactionManagerService
org.jboss.jbossweb

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
org.jboss.management.j2ee.ResourceAdapterModule

I have also tried using 3.2.0. The JNDIView did
worked correctly and the ConnectionFactory was
located. However, my test application failed with

Exception in thread "main" javax.jms.JMSSecurityException: User: null is NOT authenticated

This has all worked on HP-UX and Solaris.

Do you know of any issues with JBoss and AIX ?

Many Thanks

[adrian.brock]

What is the first error,
post the stacktrace.

The ZipException suggests you have a
corrupted jar file?
Are you sure this isn't a warning caused by unpacked
deployments?

Regards,
Adrian

[paulgammon]

Hi, I'm confident this isn't any sort of file corruption.
We develop on multiple Unix boxes with AIX being
our main fileserver and Solaris and HP-UX sharing
the same filesystems via NFS. So, the identical set of
files work on Solaris and HP-UX but not AIX. Stack
trace is below

There is no context in the trace,
what are the logging lines before and after?

It still doesn't show the jar file with the problem.
Try looking in server/default/log/server.log
for debug messages.

I've just come up against what I believe is a related problem under AIX.

Basically using a configuration that run's fine under OSX when I run on a particular AIX system I get the following in the server.log file

This repeats every 5-10 seconds until I shut down jboss.

As far as I can tell whichever SubjectSecurityManager is obtained by org.jboss.mq.security.SecurityManager seems to be returning false for isValid(principal,passwordChars) when principal is null.

I'm assuming that principal=null is correct as org.jboss.mq.Connection calls authenticate with username and password null.

Any body else seen/solved this before?

As an aside the reason I was playing on this particular AIX machine was an attempt to reproduce a problem whereby JNDI failed if /etc/hosts contained an invalid entry for the name returned by the hostname command. (due to the way HACMP was set up) As far As I can tell jboss calls gethostname and then looks up that name in order to connect to JNDI. Any idea why it can't just lookup and connect to "localhost"?

[adrian.brock]

These problems are unrelated except
thay are both in AIX.

The first shows a corrupted jar file,
the second that you are trying to use
an anonymous connection.

You'll need something like the following
in jboss.xml for the mdb.

<message-driven>
<ejb-name>DurableTopicBean</ejb-name>
<destination-jndi-name>topic/testDurableTopic</destination-jndi-name>
<mdb-user>john</mdb-user>
<mdb-passwd>needle</mdb-passwd>
<mdb-subscription-id>DurableSubscriberExample</mdb-subscription-id>
</message-driven>

I've been looking at the security related and ZIP exception problems inconjunction with Paul, the original poster (we work at the same company).

With regards to the security problem:
This is being caused by a conflict with the IBM installed JAAS support. Our installation is IBM's JVM 1.3.1 for AIX 4.3 with the (optional) JAAS jar's present in the JRE ext directory.

If you enabled tracing for security within JBOSS you will get some additional information:


javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: unable to find LoginModule class: org.jboss.resource.security.ConfiguredIdentityLoginModule
at javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext.invoke(LoginContext.java:643)
at javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext.access$000(LoginContext.java:124)
at javax.security.auth.login.LoginContext$3.run(LoginContext.java:543)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
.....

I believe this is because the IBM JAAS classes that are trying to load the login module are only looking in the JRE lib and ext directories.

This causes a number of problems including the default datasource using hypersonic.

If the IBM JAAS support is removed everything is fine.

I've seen some other reports of this problem on the JBoss forums and on other web sites.

With regards to the ZIP file problem. It is highly unlikely that the JAR's are corrupt since they work on all the other platforms. I've have seen reports of problems with the IBM JRE and ZIPExceptions but nothing conclusive. One suggestion is that IBM are throwing a ZIPException for a condition that Sun throw a IOException for.


Note: The testing we have been doing is with the same set of JBoss files and configurations on a number of different platforms.
