Weird problem: can't start JBoss AS

[smokingapipe]

I'm sure this is some minor system config issue, but I'm puzzled. I unzipped JBoss AS 4.2.1 and run it and it fails with this exception:

17:17:14,000 WARN [BasicMBeanRegistry] javax.management.MBeanRegistrationException: preRegister() failed: [ObjectName='jboss.remoting:service=NetworkRegistry', Class=org.jboss.remoting.network.NetworkRegistry (org.jboss.remoting.network.NetworkRegistry@126f827)]
17:17:14,021 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not create deployment: file:/tmp/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml

 at org.jboss.system.ServiceConfigurator.install(ServiceConfigurator.java:196)
 at org.jboss.system.ServiceController.install(ServiceController.java:226)

This is on Linux, with Java 6. Huh? Any ideas on this?

Try with Java 5

Really, is JBoss 4.21 that unhappy with Java 6? That's a bit annoying given how much faster Java 6 is, and it has been out for over a year now. But I'll try it.

What's strange is that my other computer is running Java 6 and it lets JBoss 4.2.1 start up. Hmm.

The wiki http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossVsJavaJDKVersionMatrix says JBoss 4.2.x runs under Java 5. And going by some of the posts that i have seen here, JBoss doesn't officially support Java 6 yet.

It's a trivial problem. The identity that JBoss is looking for must be in /etc/hosts.
