Error starting jboss 2.4.1

[kgeorgie]

My OS is Linux 6.2 and I am using the KDE flavor. I get the following error after executing run_with_tomcat.sh:


./run_with_tomcat.sh

I believe my run_with_tomcat.sh is the generic one:

more run.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Minimal jar file to get JBoss started.

JBOSS_CLASSPATH=$JBOSS_CLASSPATH:run.jar

# Add all login modules for JAAS-based security
# and all libraries that are used by them here
JBOSS_CLASSPATH=$JBOSS_CLASSPATH

# Check for SUN(tm) JVM w/ HotSpot support
#
HOTSPOT=`java -version 2>&1 | grep HotSpot`"x"
if [ "$HOTSPOT" != "x" ]; then
HOTSPOT="-server"
else
HOTSPOT=""
fi

# Add the XML parser jars and set the JAXP factory names
# Crimson parser JAXP setup(default)
JBOSS_CLASSPATH=$JBOSS_CLASSPATH:../lib/crimson.jar
JAXP=-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.crimson.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
JAXP="$JAXP -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.crimson.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl"

echo JBOSS_CLASSPATH=$JBOSS_CLASSPATH
#$JAVA_HOME/java $HOTSPOT $JAXP -classpath $JBOSS_CLASSPATH org.jboss.Main $@
/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/bin/java $HOTSPOT $JAXP -classpath $JBOSS_CLASSPATH org.jboss.Main $@

Thanks for any help.

Can you post the Log4jService config in jboss/conf/tomcat/jboss.conf?

Do you have log4j.jar in /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01/jre/lib/ext?

Adrian

Adrian,
Thanks replying so soon.
Yes I do have the log4j.jar in the directory you mention.

HOLD EVERYTHING!!
I just found out that the lead on my project has updated
to jboss 3.0. So my new problem now is trying to install
ver 3.0. I am trying to get the latest version by going thru the jboss CVS. Problem right now is trying to download the jCVS client.


I downloaded the [install anywhere file] install-jcvs-unix-522.bin file, I change perms to 777 and run it. It starts, prompts for the JVM to use and then just STOPS. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry,
I don't use jCVS so I can't help with that.

The log4j in jre/lib/ext won't work with JBoss.

log4j uses the old Class.forName() so it needs to be loaded
in the same classloader as Log4jService to work
correctly.

Regards,
Adrian
