[amir_n]

hi

I am a beginner in j2ee. I have installed the JBoss on my PC. I decided to test it. but when I try to connect to "http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/index.jsp" I get the following error messages.

Make sure you haven't installed neither JBoss or your JDK to a directory with spaces in the path name, if you're running on Windows.

Apache Tomcat/4.1.29

[pedalian]

I get the same error, but it is not due to spaces in the JAVA_HOME environment variable in my case (I've checked). I have been trying to run a simple "Hello World" WAR file on Linux (ver. 2.4.18, 1.4.2_03 JDK) using the Jboss-Tomcat 3.2.3 version for a week now, but it still does not work. Servlets run fine, but JSP's get this error. I have no problem running under standalone Tomcat minus Jboss. Also, the same WAR application runs fine when this package is installed under windows XP.

Jboss starts with no problem, no errors in the boot.log or server.log, no classpath issues, but it will not compile the JSP for some reason. When I look under MainEngine/localhost/hw/ (hw is my Hello-World test app) I find the constructed .java file there, and it looks fine. This appears to be some kind of bug.

Also, I am using mod_jk to send requests from Apache to Jboss/Tomcat as well (although this shouldn't be an issue). The Linux environment I'm using is on an ISP's private virtual server, so I'm beginning to think that may be causing some kind of problem. But, it appears to be a bug. Hopefully, someone can tell us what the problem is. In the meantime, I am starting to experiment with Orion.

This occurs when JAVA_HOME points to a JRE which does not have the required javac compiler. You need JAVA_HOME pointing to a JDK installation.

[pedalian]

I have installed the JDK, and JAVA_HOME points directly at it. It is the same environment setting on the same machine that works fine when I run Tomcat by itself, and it has no problem finding the compiler. There is a JRE subdirectory under JAVA_HOME, but that is OK, right? Under JAVA_HOME I have these subdirectories: bin, demo, docs, include, jre, lib. The javac compiler is under the bin directory.

One thing I have noticed, on the boot.log listing, I see this line:
21:44:05,656 DEBUG [ServerInfo] java.home: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03/jre

This would imply that my JAVA_HOME is pointing to the jre subdirectory, but it isn't. It is pointing at /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03. Also, when I run under Windows XP, the boot log shows the same entry, but everything works fine. So, I'm not sure what is wrong. That is why I think there is a bug.

FWIW, I am starting Jboss using the -server java flag (on the Linux machine). Any further ideas would be appreciated.

I got the same errors with jboss-3.2.3 on linux, with JAVA_HOME set up properly. After a few hours of "headaches" I figured out there was no problem with the java compiler itself. Apparently, when the compilation starts, ant needs to create some temporary files. I don't know why, but it tries to create the temporary files one level upper than the jboss install directory.

For instance, I installed jboss in /opt/jboss-3.2.3 and ant wanted to create the temporary files in /opt. After I made /opt world-writeable, everything worked fine.

Hope this is helpful. Maybe someone knows how to set ant so that it creates temporary files under a certain directory.

Well... I digged some more. The relevant lines from ant source code:

String userDirName = System.getProperty("user.dir");
File userDir = new File(userDirName);
tmpFile = fileUtils.createTempFile("files", "", userDir);

Looks like ant creates those temporary files in the current user's home directory, as reported by System.getProperty("user.dir"). Obviously, for my setup it reports "/opt" ;)

Oops... System.getProperty("user.dir") is the "current directory", not the "home directory". As for JBoss, it's the "current" directory at the time it's started (in other words, the current directory from which run.sh is invoked).

Sorry for the "spam" :)
