jboss 4.2.1 throws NoClassDefFoundError's on boot on 64bit s

[slotties]

Hi,

we're currently installing a JBoss on a sun solaris 10 (sun fire t2000) with a sun jvm for sparc (1.5.0_16). When we use the 32bit version everything works fine (even though the jboss boots *very* slow) but when we use the "-d64" parameter we run into NoClassDefFoundError's on startup:

Does anyone know what may the problem or how we can do more analysis on this?

When you are using a 64-bit JDK explicitly, you dont have to pass the -d64 JVM option. Does it work when you remove the -d64 option?

file:/cms/jboss-4.2.1.GA_slimmed/server/pb-cms2/

Also, are you sure you created the pb-cms2 correctly with all the required components and jars?

Without -d64 the 32bit vm will be used:

and then the jboss boots without any error.

Yes, as this configuration runs on other systems (x86 system, this one is the first sparc we have) in 32 bit and 64 bit.

Going by the earlier log message about the Sun JDK being used, i thought you were explicitly pointing to a 64 bit JDK. Could you try downloading the 64 bit version of JDK and point JBoss to use it? See if that works.

Nono, I set "-d64" to use the 64 bit jdk instead of the 32 bit as the sparc 64 bit jdk is just an "overlay"/"patch" to the 32 bit jdk.

With setting "JAVA=$JAVA_HOME/bin/sparcv9/java" (removed -d64) in the run.conf the jboss boots without problems with the 64 bit jdk, thanks!
