JBoss Startup - Log4JService

[matty_r]

I am trying to run a JBoss server and am getting the following error on start up. I'm very new to JBoss / Java so this error does not really mean much to me, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I've also included the Log4J attribute from the JBoss-Service.xml file below incase that helps

Which version of JBoss and which version of Java? And if there is any other exception stacktrace then please post that too.

Thanks again for the help...

It's old versions jboss-3.0.1_tomcat-4.0.4 and Java 1.3.0_03

Any reason why you would want to use these old versions of the software? The latest available version of JBoss is 4.2.1 which can be used with JDK5.

It just comes down to cost of upgrade / retesting all of the different apps hosted on the server...

Fair enough.

I dont have that version installed on my test system. The oldest that i have is 3.2.7. I looked at the jboss-service.xml file and it mentions:

<!-- Preload all custom editors for VMs that don't use the thread
 context class loader when searching for PropertyEditors. Uncomment
 if your JDK 1.3.0 VM fails to find JBoss PropertyEditors.
 <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.PropertyEditorManagerService"

 </mbean>
 -->

This part is just above the Log4j initialization mbean. As mentioned (specifically for JDK 1.3) in that note, could you try uncommenting this part and see if it works.

I've managed to fixed that particular problem... I had a JAVA_HOME environment variable set which when removed enabled JBoss to start without error...

Thanks for the help
