    Trouble starting up JBoss

    azavia

      Hi,

      I've just recently installed JBoss, and the eclipse ide with the jboss plugins.

      I'm having trouble getting JBoss started though. When I installed it, I used the jems installation package, and specified the ejb3-clustered install. It doesn't seem the "all" option includes ejb3, and I wanted ejb3.

      I specified MySQL for the datasource, and put the appropriate .jar file in server/default/lib

      When I try to start JBoss from within Eclipse, it says it fails. The console contains the following:

      I don't know what those warnings are from. I see no errors, though.

      Any ideas what could be going wrong?

      Any help much appreciated.

          Hello,

          From the Server log that you have given denotes that there is no problem in starting of JBoss. The warnings are clearly stated that, its come from deprecated configuration environment and it will be disappear in future releases.

          And, It seems you need ejb3 but you have installed ejb3-clustering configuration from jems.

          1. Try to select ejb3 server configuration then install it using jems installer jar and not the ejb3-clustering(unless you need ejb3 - clustering server configuration).

          2. Now start the jboss server with ejb3 Server configuration.

          Hope, this may help you.

            hi,

            Thanks for the response. I reinstalled, with the "all" configuration. Is this supposed to support EJB3? i thought I read somewhere it should, but I am not sure.

            Anyway, now when I start, i get something like this at the end:

            It says njboss.naming was already started, and then that other things seemed not to have been installed. Not sure why this would be, though, since it should have installed everything.

              Hello,

              With 'all' server configuration, you can't able to run the EJB3.

              So, For running EJB3 Applications, you should install 'EJB3' Server Configuration while you are selecting the Server Configuration at the time of Installation by using jems installer jar.

              The error denotes, the ports are already bound. Are you running more than one jboss server at a time??

              If so, stop all the jboss servers and start only one instance of jboss.

              • 4. Re: Trouble starting up JBoss
                azavia

                OK, I installed the EJB3 configuration.

                I figured out that the port 1098 was being used due to some process on my computer. I stopped the process and then got no more of those errors.

                Now it looks like it is starting fine; it is like my original post, minus the warnings. But, in the JBos server view, in the event log, after the successful start of the server i see a bunch of messages like:

                Twiddle Launch: Server is down


                Then after a good 25 of those:

                [quoteServer failed to start

                    Just another update:

                    I saw in other parts of the forum that people had this same problem, and fixed it by just using the zip download instead of the jar installer. I tried the same, and it worked.

                    But the problem is that this doesn't include EJB3. Is there a way I can include EJB3 in it? Apparently there is some problem with the installer.

                      To get EJB3 support, download the source tar.gz file, unpack it (if you are on Windows, WinZip can do this), abd build it using a 5.0 JDK. The build creates both the standard binary distribution and an EJB3 variation.

                      To built it, set JAVA_HOME, go to the build directory, and run build.bat or build.sh. The binary appears in the build/output directory.

                        Hi,

                        Thanks for the reply. I downloaded jboss-ejb3 rc9, and according to the install.html I'm supposed to use ant to build and install into jboss. so I ran

                        ant -f install.xml -Djboss.server.config=default[/coe]
                        
                        And it looks like it worked. I've not tested it but it looks like it.
                        
                        Now hopefully this'll work. :D Thanks to everyone who replied.
