Exception on startup

[skareti]

I am a first timer to JBOSS and am trying to install
JBoss-2.4.1_Tomcat-3.2.3 distribution.

On running run_with_tomcat.bat, a whole bunch of things are going right but for this one exception.

Could somebody help me figuring out where I messed
up!

I need to add some more context to this...

I loaded JBOSS as a part of the installation
of Discern(of SRI). Some of the configuration
files have been modified by Discern.

Thanks again...

SK.

Hi,

i had the same problem with PersistenceManager.

I found out when unzipping the distribution package again.
In my case there was an older/corrupt (? i don't know why) QUEUE.DLQ.dat* file in JBOSS_HOME/db/jbossmq directory.

After deletion JBoss should start properly...

Greetings

I had the same problem with JBoss-2.4.4_Tomcat-4.0.1.
I used a copy of one of our other developers (quick install) and noticed this exception. After deleting the file, which by the way appeared to be empty, presto! no more exception.
Anyone got any idea as to why this happens?
And more importantly, any idea if it has further consequences? My application seems to be running fine (well, not really, but that's entirely my fault ;-))
