do not set JBOSS_HOME. The script will figure it out. Just set JAVA_HOME

[cratygs]

[cratygs]

i got the solution. from other forums i came to know that the JBoss 4.0.2 is incompatible with jdk 1.5 because jdk 1.5 has its own JMX implementation and thus the JBoss is working fine with jdk 1.4.2

bye

[darranl]

No that is not the answer, JBoss 4 runs fine with Java 5.

Get rid of the JBOSS_CLASSPATH variable, the run script for JBoss will set all variables as required as long as the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set correctly. Also remove the JBoss bin folder from your PATH.

Looking at your environment variables you have been making a lot of unnecessary changes, have you made any changes to the JDK installation or to the JBoss instalation.

I have just downloaded the Sun 1.5.0 JDK and performed a clean installation, the only environment variable I have set is JAVA_HOME, I have then been able to start JBoss 4.0.2 without any problems. I have tried changing environment variables to match yours and nothing reproduces your problem.

If you enter the command 'java -version' what is the actual response returned?

[mtedone1]

I can confirm that Jboss 4.0.2 runs fine with Java 5. I'm running Windows XP SP2 with JDK 1.5.0_03.

[cratygs]

yes JBoss is working with jdk 1.5

I changed my java 1.5 beta version to final jdk 1.5 version and removed uneccessary fileds from the system variables. the usage of beta version might be the problem. thanx for the help

bye

I am getting the following error while starting jboss 4.0.2 default server

Failed to boot JBoss:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Cannot create MBeanServer
at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.(MBeanServerImpl.java:224)
at org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerBuilderImpl.newMBeanServer(MBeanServer
BuilderImpl.java:56)
at javax.management.MBeanServerFactory.newMBeanServer(MBeanServerFactory
.java:316) etc

I am using JDK1.4.2_10 set as JAVA_HOME.

Server starts perfectly if i set JAVA_HOME pointing to jdk1.5_04.

but I have to use jdk1.4.2_10 only for my development work.

Please let me know how to fix this.
