War file produces org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfiguratio

[gauravnsj]

I am trying to deploy a web application on JBoss 4.2.2. This is part of the Eclipse project (the infocenter user assistance system) . I have to support JBoss 4.2.2 though.

The web application works perfectly under JBoss jboss-4.0.4.GA but showing the errors when running on jboss 4.2.2 and the trace of error is below.
I have seen the solutions pasted by some users but none of them is helping.
any help would be good...


Trace is

Do you package either the commons logging of log4j jar file in your web app? If so, remove them.

[gauravnsj]

Thanks peterj , for the reply.

Actually i am using eclipse Infocenter .WAR and there are minimal number of jars which are required to run this application and one of the jar used is
org.apache.commons.logging_1.0.4.v20080605-1930.jar. If i am removing this jar from the app ,the application is not running even on jboss 4.0.4.

As per your reply , I tried removing the jar from the application and then tried running it on jboss 4.4.2 GA .
the error which is comming up is


HTTP Status 404 - ProxyServlet: /help/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message ProxyServlet: /help/

description The requested resource (ProxyServlet: /help/) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




and when removing commons jar from application and adding the commons jar of jboss 4.2.2 in tha application the error pasted above is not comming but , the trace comming up is similar to the one posted in my last post.

[peterj]

Error messages in the browser rarely help - post the stack trace from the console log instead. So I have no idea of what the error is - it could be a problem within the application itself and nothing at all related to JBoss AS.

[gauravnsj]

Thanks for the reply Peter.

I tried looking in the server log but could not find any thing there.When I am trying your suggested solution browser is showing 404 error but nothing could be seen in console or log.
I tried looking in the jboss console but no error could be seen even there.

What i did is i took the commons.logging jar of my application and jboss 4.0.4 commons logging and found that jar is similar and application is running perfectly fine.
Then I took commons.logging of my application and commons.logging of jboss 4.2.2 and I could make that there is lot of difference between the two and that is the cause I think , and on running the application the error pasted in my first post is comming up.

When I am removing the commons.logging of jboss4.2.2 the server is showing error in starting and when I am removing the commons.logging of my application then this 404 error is comming.I think this commons.logging is must for my application as when I am removing this jar from my application and then running the application in jboss4.0.4 then also this 404 error is comming up.


Could you guide me how can I overcome this problem.
any help would be highly appreciated.

[peterj]

Do not remove commons-logging from JBoss AS - leave it there! Only remove the one in your app.
