    Cannot find method addChild with this signature

    mduffy_lists

      I just downloaded JBoss-5.0.0.GA. (released a few days ago) .

      I am trying to configure with a configuration that worked flawlessly in JBoss 4.21 using an expanded war file (directory) named laser.war.

      The following error is generated:

      23:17:19,758 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=jboss.web.deployment:war=/lasser state=Create mode=Manual requiredState=Installed

      Is there some sort of config file for Tomcat that I am missing?

      Any suggestions?

      Thx.

          Mike,

          Please post the entire console logs including the exception stacktrace. Also which version of JDK are you using? And did you download the JDK6 version of the JBossAS or is it the JDK5 version?

          While posting logs or code or xml content, remember to wrap it in a code block by using the Code button in the message editor window. And please hit the Priview button before posting, to ensure that the post is formatted correctly.


          P.S: There is a dedicated forum for AS5 issues http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287

            I am using JDK 6.0

            I downloaded the JDK 5 version of Jboss. I'll give the JDK 6.0 version a try.

            Here is the complete stack trace:

                    Looks like you have an exploded deployment. Do an "ls" in the lasser.war directory instead.

                        I was able to prevent this error by removing the lib directory under WEB-INF and placing the jar files in /opt/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/lib

                          That's strange. And ideally is not the right solution. Please open a thread in the JBossAS5 forum http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287 and point them to this thread along with a brief description.

                            Hi,

                            Anyone find a solution to this? I'm getting the same exact error with a .war which was working fine in jboss 4.2.2 but now can't deploy with jboss 5.2 (sdk 6). Getting:

                              Hi,

                              Anyone find a solution to this? I'm getting the same exact error with a .war which was working fine in jboss 4.2.2 but now can't deploy with jboss 5.2 (sdk 6). Getting:

                              org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: URL file:/usr/local/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/tmp/deploy/callcenter-admin58131-exp.war/ deployment failed

                                poesys

                                For what it's worth, I just solved a similar problem with getting the addChild message. In my case, I'm deploying out of Eclipse on a Mac (OS X). I used the Finder to remove some lib jar files for a test and all of a sudden the deployment error started happening.

                                 

                                After much hair-tearing, it turned out there was an "invisible" Mac OS X file in the lib directory, .DS_Store, which the Finder puts there to track meta data about the folder. When I removed that file, the deployment error vanished.

                                 

                                So I think one cause of these errors may be "bad" files in the lib directory for the deployed web app. Because the deployer doesn't report the name of the file that caused the problem in the exception message, it is impossible to debug. My suggestion would be to do an OS-level file delete in this directory, then put your jar files back from a clean source and verify they can be loaded. The bug here is a bad message IMHO.
