Jboss application server startup error

[qbsu21th]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I'm new to Jboss. I have some problem when I start the Jboss application server. the followings are what i installed on my PC for j2ee/jboss environment.

1. j2eesdk-1_4_01_2005Q1_windows application
after installation, generate j2ee 1.4 SDK environment

2. jdk-1_5_0_03-nb_4_1_win application
after installation, generate j2se Development Kit 5.0 Update 3; j2se Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 3; NetBeans IDE 4.1

3. jwsdp-1_5_windows-i586
after installation, generate jwsdp 1.5

4. j2ee-1_4_doc-tutorial_4 folder
5. apache-ant-1.6.3 folder
6. jboss-4.0.2 folder
7. jbossj2ee-src.zip

The following is only a part of the output when starting the Jboss application server. From the line of ?14:38:36,967 ERROR [EntityContainer] Starting failed jboss.j2ee:jndiName=ebankCustomer,service=EJB?, it starts to get more errors.

I have spent quite a lot of time to look at this problem, however, I cannot solve it.

Your quick help will be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
David Su

I appears that you have deployed the Duke's Bank application to JBoss, and the problem is that the configuration for Duke's Bank is not correct. My guess is that you have not yet created the database for Duke's Bank.

If you really want to bring up just JBoss, remove the Duke's Bank application from the deploy direrctory and try starting JBoss again. Once it is up, you should be able to connect using http://localhost:8080. You will get a welcome screen.

Once that is done, get the Getting Started with JBoss 4.0 guide from http://www.jboss.org/docs/index#as and look at chapter 4. It has all of the information on building and deploying Duke's Bank.

Hope this helps.

Dear Peter,

thanks for your help.

Acutally, i have done what you suggested for a couple of times before. before i used old version of jboss and j2ee and i got the same errors. then i downloaded the new version of jboss and j2ee and went through the Getting Started with JBoss 4.0 guide to chapter 4. i got the same errors as well.

before i depoyed Duke's Bank application to JBoss, there is no errors when start up jboss application server, however, after depoyed Duke's Bank application to JBoss and run ant -f jboss-build.xml deploy, then i started to get similar errors.

i think after done what you suggested again, the same errors will be occurred, because i have done this a couple of times before.

do you have any idea on this? your help will be much appreciated.

thanks and regards,
david su

Which database are you using?

If you are using Hypersonic there should be a hsqldb-ds.xml file in the deploy directory. What is the <jndi-name> setting in that file?

[qbsu21th]

Dear Peter,

thanks for your reply. i'm using the default Hypersonic database. in the hsqldb-ds.xml file, there is "DefaultDS" for the <jndi-name> setting as follows:

- <!-- The jndi name of the DataSource, it is prefixed with java:/
-->
- <!-- Datasources are not available outside the virtual machine
-->
<jndi-name>DefaultDS</jndi-name>
- <!--
for tcp connection, allowing other processes to use the hsqldb database. This requires the org.jboss.jdbc.HypersonicDatabase mbean.

-->
<connection-url>jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:1701</connection-url>

do you think there is any problem with the setting? your quick help will be very appreciated.

thanks and regards,
David su

I check my configuration and the only thing you are doinbg different than me is that you are using an older version of the J2EE example (you are using example for 2005Q1, I am using 2005Q2. But I don't think that that has anything to do with the problem.

I compared your JBoss startup output with mine. On mine, after the database is started (the entries identified by the text '[STDOUT] [Server@9c87c1]' in your output), I see various objects being registered with the JNDI service. It looks like this:

08:09:28,332 INFO [A] Bound to JNDI name: queue/A
08:09:28,332 INFO [B] Bound to JNDI name: queue/B
08:09:28,332 INFO [C] Bound to JNDI name: queue/C
08:09:28,332 INFO [D] Bound to JNDI name: queue/D
08:09:28,332 INFO [ex] Bound to JNDI name: queue/ex
08:09:28,363 INFO [testTopic] Bound to JNDI name: topic/testTopic
08:09:28,363 INFO [securedTopic] Bound to JNDI name: topic/securedTopic
08:09:28,363 INFO [testDurableTopic] Bound to JNDI name: topic/testDurableTopic
08:09:28,378 INFO [testQueue] Bound to JNDI name: queue/testQueue
08:09:28,425 INFO [UILServerILService] JBossMQ UIL service available at : /0.0.0.0:8093
08:09:28,472 INFO [DLQ] Bound to JNDI name: queue/DLQ

Since this is missing from your output, I suspect that it has been removed or disable in your configuration. So you need to re-enable JNDI. If you can not recall what you did to disable it, the best thing might be to re-install JBoss and attempt the tutorial again. (I just did that and it took me all of an hour to get Duke's Bank running, and this included downloading JBoss, the Getting Started Guide and the J2EE tutorial).

Good luck.
