JBoss 3.0.8 on AIX 4.3 / IBM JDK 1.3.1 dies with NoClassDefF

[derry]

Hello AIX-gurus!

I have a problem with JBoss 3.0.8 on AIX 4.3 with the IBM JDK 1.3.1 (latest patches applied). I have compiled the JBoss with Sun JDK 1.3.1_05 if this helps.

JBoss dies with a NoClassDefFoundError on startup. This looks like a JDK-Bug to me...

Here is the stacktrace:
17:37:55,073 ERROR [MainDeployer] could not create deployment: file:/home/pronet2/jboss-3.0.8/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml

There's an issue and fix with the 3.2.1 distribution:

 <!-- Preload all custom editors for VMs that don't use the thread
 context class loader when searching for PropertyEditors. Uncomment
 if your JDK 1.3.0 VM fails to find JBoss PropertyEditors.
 < mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.PropertyEditorManagerService"
 name="jboss:type=Service,name=BootstrapEditors">
 < attribute name="BootstrapEditors">
 java.math.BigDecimal=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.BigDecimalEditor
 java.lang.Boolean=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.BooleanEditor
 java.lang.Class=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.ClassEditor
 java.util.Date=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.DateEditor
 java.io.File=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.FileEditor
 java.net.InetAddress=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.InetAddressEditor
 java.lang.Integer=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.IntegerEditor
 javax.management.ObjectName=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.ObjectNameEditor
 java.util.Properties=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor
 [Ljava.lang.String;=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.StringArrayEditor
 java.net.URL=org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.URLEditor
 < /attribute>
 < /mbean>
 -->

I don't remember if that was included in 3.0.8, check your conf/jboss-service.xml and see if you have a similar section there.
