Please, help. How to view deploy errors in Windows

[vpalasi]

Hello everybody.

Please, may somebody help me with a problem that is driving me crazy?

I'm starting to learn JBoss and I always have the same problem: I can't view error messages that are produced by JBoss.

I.e, when trying to deploy an application, I copy the JAR file to the deploy directory. Then, JBoss start giving error messages. But JBoss produces A LOT OF error lines and only the first one interest me (the rest of them are like the following ones).

at com.sun.management.jmx.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:15
3)
at org.jboss.deployment.J2eeDeployer.startModules(J2eeDeployer.java:487)

... 30 more

But, I CAN'T VIEW THE FIRST ONE because, after displaying 90 lines (for example), the MS-DOS window doesn't allow me to scroll up until the first line. That is, I can see the last lines but not the first one.

Please, is there a way to see the first line of error? I have tried change the Java command of run.bat, this way:

java ..whatever... > error.log
java ..whatever... >> error.log

But this does not Work. (I use Windows 98 SE)

Please, PLEASE, help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Vicent Palasi

Shut down jboss and then read the server.log in /logs directory...it is the more detailed output that you see flashing by on the screen and in WordPad, you can scroll. the problem is with Win 98...at work under NT and (of course) under Linux or Solaris this is not a problem.\

You can configure the buffer size of the MS-DOS window by rightmouseclick on the MS-DOS-Image on the MS-DOS-Window TitlePanel (In Properties => Layout).

In log4j.properties, you can configure, which type of messages (INFO, DEBUG) should appear on the console, in the log-file.

That buffer size only works under NT/2K, not 98...

Thanks to all.

Following your instructions, I have seen the server.log file and it works. So I solved my problem (I was desperate).

Thanks for your help,
