Verifier broken in JBoss 3.0 Beta?

[alantreadway]

Hi all

I've just recently downloaded JBoss 3.0 Beta and I'm having a few problems :(

When attempting to run the Verifier (and other admin tools for that matter!) using the .BAT files in the bin/ directory of the ZIP binary distribution, I get a ClassNotFoundException for org.jboss.admin.verifier.Main

Noticing that the BAT files appear to add ../classes to the classpath (and that the classes directory was missing), I downloaded the source distribution & built the classes directory - I then proceeded to copy this into the binary distribution directory...

I then get a ClassNotFoundException for a different class. The other JAR files referenced in the BAT file aren't actually in the location specified (i.e. lib), and I can't even find jta-spec1_0_1.jar within the distribution :(

After modifying the BAT to reference the right locations for the JAR's, I'm now getting the message "Could not find the language package!"

So:
1) Am I missing something vital from my JBoss 3.0 beta installation?
2) Is the binary distribution complete?
3) What should I do in order to enable the verifier (and other admin tools) to work correctly?

Thanks in advance,

This link contains an ant script that works
look for verify.jar

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the script, but this just results in a NoClassDefFoundError for org.jboss.admin.verifier.Main

I've had the verifier up and running with JBoss 2.4.4 no problems - it appears to me that the JBoss 3.0 alpha/beta *binary* distributions are broken since I can't actually find a JAR with this class in it (certainly not in the lib/ directory as your script suggests)

My *real* problem is an InstantiationExecption when creating/finding a CMP2.0 entity bean, but until I can verify the bean & deployment descriptors are correct I can't even begin to solve that problem :(

Thanks in advance,
Alan

Ah,

This script is actually for beta2. I think you'll
need to change it to lib/ext. You want to remove the
"admin" part of the class name.

But,
Since you are using CMP2.0 this is irrelevant. I spotted
last week that the verfier hasn't been done yet for
EJB2.0 and made it issue a warning about unverified
deployment.
I have seen somebody volunteer to write it on the
dev-list today.

Hi

Thanks again :) I managed to get the verifier working in Ant using:

<!-- J2EE classpath -->








<!-- JBoss verifier classpath -->





and:








Thanks for your help :)
