JBOSS not loaded

[ran_sushmi]

I have a query on is there something as JBOSS is not started properly? I have heard things like not being able to log in to the application because JBOSS is not started properly as JBOSS is used in our application.
If, there is a problem of JBOSS not started properly, how to check it. Normally, we check for JBOSS started by seeing in the log $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/jboss.log for something like 'Started in....'.

I hope, my question is clear.

Please, help in solving the doubt.

Does this answer your question: http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-12309

hi,

thanks, for your answer. I guess, twiddle facility will be most helpful to check in my scenario. I just wanted to know how and where to issue the twiddle command:-

twiddle get "jboss.system:type=Server" Started

I hope, my question is clear.

Please, help in solving the doubt.

Did you try it?

[ran_sushmi]

hi,

I tried it on the Linux server having the application. I am not a java guy, so, was not sure where to try that.

OK, you are not a "Java guy," but have you run Linux scripts before? twiddle.sh is a Linux script.

hi,

sorry, I was running the command wrongly. The output is as follows:-
-------------------------------------------------------------
./twiddle.sh get "jboss.system:type=Server" Started
Started=true
-------------------------------------------------------------

So, this, 'Started=true' means JBOSS has started and running properly. Am, I right?

Please, help in solving the doubt.

Yes, that means it is running. Technically, it means that that particular service is running. This does not tell you if other services, such as the web service, are running.

[ran_sushmi]

does that mean that we cannot say for sure that JBOSS is started? What all services should be required as I am not sure of what all services are running or what all services are required in our scenario?

Please, help in solving the doubt.

Look back at the link I posted, it discusses the options.

The main question is - what is it that you want to check? That HTTP is ready? That web services are ready? That RMI is ready? That the messaging service is ready? That application X is deployed and ready? And there are others. Each is its own service, each handled by its own mbean. You can always query the corresponding mbean to see if it is started. Or you can issue a benign request, and if you get an acceptable response, you know that the service has started. I used this last method in one of the products that I developed.
