NoClassDefFoundError when starting JBoss

[318touring]

Hi all, pls help. I've been trying to get JBoss running on my PC. I have tried using the j2ee.jar file from my j2eesdk but to no avail. So now I put jboss own j2ee.jar file in my CLASSPATH. Anyone else has this problem?

OS: Win 2000
JBoss: jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18

But all I got was this (only part):
22:42:26,405 INFO [MainDeployer] Starting deployment of package: file:/C:/jboss
-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18/server/default/deploy/tomcat41-service.xml

Hi everyone!
I have the same problem. But it's with Linux(Red Hat 9.0), and it's ok with Windows 2000.

JBoss: jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18

The settings:
CLASSPATH=".:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03/lib:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03/lib/dt.jar:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03/lib/tools.jar:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03/jre/lib:/usr/j2ee/j2sdkee1.3.1/lib/j2ee.jar"
J2EE_HOME="/usr/j2ee/j2sdkee1.3.1"
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_03"
JBOSS_HOME="/usr/JBoss/jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18"
TOMCAT_HOME="/usr/JBoss/jboss-3.0.6_tomcat-4.1.18/tomcat-4.1.x"

The output is the same:
22:42:26,405 INFO [MainDeployer] Starting deployment of package: file:/C:/jboss

Help me, please. Thanks in advance.

Most likely you are upsetting JBoss with the extra definitions in the classpath. JBoss provides it's own J2EE libraries, which you are probably pre-empting by specifying other definitions. See this thread:

Thanks. But it seems not to be that problem.

I am confused that even it is wrong, why is javax/servlet/ServletContext, not javax.servlet.ServletContext?

Please help me. Thanks very much!

My god! It seems to be a bug.

#$JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh
cant' work correct!
And I have to switch to the dir then run it:
#cd $JBOSS_HOME/bin
# ./run.sh

I have the same problem with JBoss 3.0.8/tomcat on Linux RedHat 8.0.

Has anyone fixed the script?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm using JBoss with Windows, I have always this problem when I'm just installing this software. You just have to put the point in your classpath. For example :

SET CLASSPATH = .;c:\jsdk\lib\rt.jar

The "." is important. It is used to find your classes in the current directory.

I hope this helpful.
