JBOSS failed

[hhhh]

When trying to activate JBOSS:
#cd /ora/Compiere2/jboss/bin
#sh run.sh

It showed an Error about missing jboss-service.xml file.

so I created a softlink
#cd /ora/Compiere2/jboss/server/default
#ln -s /ora/Compiere2/jboss/server/compiere/conf conf

When run.sh is rerun, warnings messages are displayed:
...
WARN [ServcieConfigurator] Failed to complete install java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:No ClassLoaders found for: org.jboss.varia.property.PropertyEditorManagerService
...

After 19 such warnings, it is followed by an error message:
...
ERROR [Server] start failed
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException:jboss:type=Service,name=BootstrapEditors is not registered.: - nested throwable: (javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException:jboss:type=Service,name=BootstrapEditors is not registered.)
...

How can I resolve this problem? (I'm running Debian Linux)

Thanks for helping...

What is the initial output from your run script? It should be something like:

================================================================================

JBoss Bootstrap Environment

JBOSS_HOME: /usr/local/JBoss-3.2.0

JAVA: /usr/local/IBMJava2-14/bin/java

JAVA_OPTS: -Djava.io.tmpdir=/jetty -Dprogram.name=run.sh

CLASSPATH: /usr/local/JBoss-3.2.0/bin/run.jar:/usr/local/IBMJava2-14/lib/tools.jar

================================================================================

Please post it here as a starting point for diagnosis.

The initial run script output is as follows:

Subsequent run script output which might be useful for diagnosis:

OK. The environment looks fairly normal for a Linux JDK 1.4.1 result.

Can you explain why you create a link to a JBoss compiere instance?

Normally, there should already exist a server/default/conf directory. If you could revert to the standard distribution and we can have a look at the server.log from this when you run it, that might be helpful. Also, with the standard distribution, try just:
./run.sh

I wouldn't expect anything to be different there, but let's try to minimise differences.

[hhhh]

The link was created because 'conf' was not in ../server/default directory.

My JBOSS was installed automatically when I installed Compiere. Should 'conf' folder have existed in the directory?

[jonlee]

There should definitely have been a conf directory, a lib directory, a log directory and a deploy directory in default. There should probably be a data directory for housing the hypersonic database that ships by default with JBoss. So it is a bit worrying that you didn't have the default conf which sets up much of the standard bootstrap services.

Try getting a clean JBoss 3.2.x distribution so at least we know the configs are ok out of the box, so to speak.
