jboss does not start

[orclex]

Hello,

I have downloaded the full jboss 3.2 bzip2 archive for linux.
After unpacking I want to run the ./run.sh in jboss-3.2.3/bin.
But while starting jboss I get several errors like

14:41:36,584 ERROR [EmbeddedTomcatService] Starting failed
org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: No suitable Log constructor [Ljava.lang.Class;@e4245 for org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger
at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl.newInstance(LogFactoryImpl.java:532)
...

...

at org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.local.LocalManagedConnectionFactory.createManagedConnection(LocalManagedConnectionFactory.java:160)
...


So finally I get the following message:



MBeans waiting for other MBeans:
[ObjectName: jboss.mq:service=InvocationLayer,type=HTTP
state: CONFIGURED
I Depend On: jboss.mq:service=Invoker
jboss.web:service=WebServer

So what's the problem and what can I do?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

First verify if you were able to untar all the classes. Especially the ones at the end of a long dir structure. The regular tar may have an issue with long dir structure. You may have to use gnutar if that's the case,

Verify the classes under the dir 'jboss-3.2.3/server/default/deploy'.

Hope this helps!

[orclex]

I have used the GNU tar and extracted all files without any error.
The path jboss-3.2.3/server/default/deploy contains following files:


cache-invalidation-service.xml
client-deployer-service.xml
hsqldb-ds.xml
http-invoker.sar
jboss-jca.sar
jboss-local-jdbc.rar
jboss-xa-jdbc.rar
jbossweb-tomcat41.sar
jms
jmx-console.war
jmx-invoker-adaptor-server.sar
mail-service.xml
management
properties-service.xml
schedule-manager-service.xml
scheduler-service.xml
snmp-adaptor.sar
sqlexception-service.xml
transaction-service.xml
user-service.xml
uuid-key-generator.sar

So why does jboss always throw an exception when starting?
No suitable Log constructor [Ljava.lang.Class;@e4245 for org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger

What can I do?

Do you have apache commons somewhere in your system classpath, in JDK/lib/ext for example?

[orclex]

apache commons? jdk/lib/ext?
what exactly do you mean? which directory has to be in my classpath? perhaps this is missing...?

here is my classpath:
echo $CLASSPATH
/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/lib:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/jboss-3.2.3/bin/run.jar:/usr/local/jwsdp-1.3/saaj/lib/lib/tools.jar:/usr/local/jwsdp-1.3/saaj/lib:.

So my java-path is /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_nb/j2sdk1.4.2.
What is the apache common-path? and where is the jdk/lib/ext path?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

[juha]

Have a look at your j2sdk1.4.2_nb/jre/lib/ext and make sure there isn't anything extra there. Unsetting your system classpath might also be a good idea (although the start scripts should do this already) before you start JBoss.

[orclex]

Thats it!
I have had some .jar-files belonging to the jwsdp in the jdk/lib/ext folder. Without it the server run whithout any problems!
Thanks a lot!
