JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.? JBoss

[gan.gary]

When I install JBoss as windows service, it works fine, but after several test on VPC, I hit this error:

Starting JBoss Application Server 5.0 [2008-07-24 04:18:06]
ECHO is off.
JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.
Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.

Well, I think, but I'm not sure, that Server dll and Server Java are only included in SDK installs.

Maybe that's the problem ?

Btw, edit the .bat and put an
echo JAVA_HOME: %JAVA_JOME%
echo JRE_HOME: %JRE_HOME% (or something like that)

[subemontes]

In addiction, that JAVA: java is a bad sign.

It must point to JRE or JDK install folder.

I recomend JDK cos the utilities. and in Servers productions u can no to installa JAVA jre (per examle)

When running JBossAS as a service in Windows, you must make sure that you set JAVA_HOME in the System Variables section of the Environment Variables tab on the system properties dialog. Setting JAVA_HOME in the User Variables section will not work!

[peterj]

Alternately, if you are using JBoss Native to run the service, you can change service.bat to set JAVA_HOME.

No, I set it at system environment variable (the bottom one). It runs fine when using run.bat. It only not work on this VPC environment. Previously all ok.

you meant I can set :

%JAVA_HOME% = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15

in the run.bat?

I put this in run.bat:

:FOUND_RUN_JAR

echo JAVA_HOME0 %JAVA_HOME%
if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto ADD_TOOLS

set JAVA=java

echo JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.
echo Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.
goto SKIP_TOOLS

:ADD_TOOLS


set JAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java

echo JAVA_HOME1 %JAVA_HOME%

I get this in normal mode:

JAVA_HOME0 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15
JAVA_HOME1 C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15

but I get:

Starting JBoss Application Server 5.0 [2008-07-24 17:29:14]
JAVA_HOME0
JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.

when run as windows service mode

It must point to JRE or JDK install folder.

I do not get what you meant. Cna explain?

[gan.gary]

What the hell, I re-started my PC and everything works fine. I suspect the %JAVA_HOME% has not taken effect yet, thought I open another command shell.I think I need to report to JBoss bugzilla.

[jaikiran]

No, I set it at system environment variable (the bottom one).

%JAVA_HOME% = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15

Is this exactly how you set the JAVA_HOME? Then it is incorrect. There should be no % while setting the value.

No, that's typo. I have reported it to JBoss BugZilla: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBNATIVE-61 :) Hope what I found is a bug in Jboss Native.

that's on run.bat. Peterj mentioned can set explicitly at "run.bat":

The fact that new system properties are not found by the services until after you reboot the PC is not a JBoss Native bug - it is the operating system, and specifically the service manager, that is not registering the env var changes until a reboot. Therefore you should not have opened a JIRA. There is nothing that the JBoss team can do to fix this.

[peterj]

Also, I did mean service.bat. It is part of JBoss Native. You still have not said how you go about running as a service, if you use JBoss Native or some other tool to do that.

It is better to change service.bat that run.bat because you might at some later time run run.bat manually and then wonder why it is not picking up the JAVA_HOME setting that you made on the command line.

thanks for your explaination. I closed it. At least I can update the Jboos Wiki, it might be helpful for others.

I meant it too. sorry, that's my typo previously to answer jakiran.
