Starting JBoss 3.2 on Linux

[rgothan]

Just solved a problem where JBoss hung at startup. This was due to the fact that there was no entry in the /etc/hosts file or DNS entry resolving the host name to an IP address.

Could the bootup should be tweaked to catch this error?

Can you show the stacktrace where it hangs.
When I've seen this in the past, it dumped
a NullPointerException

There was no stack trace... Jboss just hung on

21:27:04,519 INFO [WebService] Starting

Clearly it got stuck looking for the local IP address.


Hope this helps

Use ctrl-\ to get a threaddump, it will
show the stacktrace.

I am getting the same problem on Linux. I have set the /etc/hosts file already but still no luck.

Here is the stack trace for you.
