JBoss 2.4.4/Tomcat 4.0.1 bundle woes

[chrisp]

Hi guys

Hopefully this is going to be a stupid question with a simple answer...but here goes nothing.

I've pulled down the JBoss2.4.4/Tomcat4.0.1 bundle, and have deployed it on Windows 2000. AFAICS, no other config is needed to run it. But I am getting lots of 'UnknownHostException's thrown. Certainly the example tomcat-test.ear doesn't deploy.

Can anyone suggest what I've done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Chris
Expecting something blatantly obvious to be pointed out... :-)

Can you post the stack trace?
I guess there is some problem with your ip config?

OK - here's the server log. I agree with that it looks like an ipconfig problem, but everything else seems OK.

[chrisp]

Damn...I meant to yank out a specific stack trace too. Take 2:

From line 371 of server.log:

Why do you have your naming provider url set to
file:/tmp?
Have a look at jndi.properties and remove this line.
This should only be set for clients.

Hmmm...that won't help, will it?

It's being picked up from within %JAVA_HOME%/lib or %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib, so I guess it's the default JRE/JDK install value.

Thanks for your help. I _knew_ it was a dumb question....

[chrisp]

Following on from what I said - a correction. The default install for the JDK/JRE doesn't set a jndi.properties AFAICS, so _I_ must have put one in at some time.... Bizarre. Must have been a Friday afternoon thing. Either that, or I'm finally going senile! :-7
