Hy,
After changing the partition name "DefaultPartition" to "MyPartition" in the cluster-service.xml and in the jboss-service.xml of an MBean, the server comes up with a null pointer exception when started. Leaving the name to "DefaultPartition" everything works well.
here the dump:java.lang.NullPointerException

What must be done to change the DefaultPartition name and to avoid the null Pointer exception?

thanx for help

Hi all,

I am also trying to change partition name and I can't find in the documentation how to do it.

Is it enough to replace DefaultPartition by MyPartition every where in cluster-services.xml and jboss-service.xml as Mark just said ?

Also, does anyone know what the steps to have more than one partition for one server are?

Thanks for your help

I have been unable to get a seamless/no-login session failover either. I haven't had time to dig into it yet, but I suspect that somewhere, the session principal is not being serialized to the cluster.

To change partition name, be aware that you will also need to add the appropriate tags to your ejb descriptor to tell the container which cluster partition to which it should be deployed. Otherwise, everything will be deployed to default partition.

If you are adding a partition (disclaimer: I haven't done this yet), make sure you add a farm service for the '2nd' partition if you are using farming.

Did anyone manage to solve this?

There's aparenly a bug in jboss_hahttpsession.sar.
It REQUIRES there to be a 'DefaultPartition'.

Sinly create two partitions: One called 'MyPartition' and one called 'DefaultPartition'. Register ALL your stuff to the 'MyPartition'.

If you simply rename 'DefaultPartition' to 'MyPartition' everywhere, some services will not load (ha httpsession for ex).

Let's hope they fix the jboss_hahttpsession sometime soon, but this shuld generally work for most cases.

Hope this helps.

This does not appear to be correct, at least in version 3.2.3. The partition name for jboss-hahttpsession.sar is defined in jbossha-httpsession.sar/ClusteredHttpSessionEB.jar/META-INF/jboss.xml.

Replace DefaultPartition to MyPartition in that file and I bet your errors go away. It works for me.

I had to add this code into deploy-hasingleton-service.xml file (JBoss 3.2.5):

<mbean code="org.jboss.ha.singleton.HASingletonController"
 name="jboss.ha:service=HASingletonDeployer">
 <depends>jboss:service=MyPartition</depends>
 <depends optional-attribute-name="TargetName">jboss.system:service=MainDeployer</depends>
 <attribute name="TargetStartMethod">deploy</attribute>
 <attribute name="TargetStartMethodArgument">${jboss.server.home.url}/deploy-hasingleton</attribute>
 <attribute name="TargetStopMethod">undeploy</attribute>
 <attribute name="TargetStopMethodArgument">${jboss.server.home.url}/deploy-hasingleton</attribute>
 <attribute name="PartitionName">MyPartition</attribute> </mbean>
