No answer after run command

[despontao]

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Jboss and I have a really stupid problem, but I can't solve it... so, I really need your help to move forward...

I set JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME variables, installed Jboss-4.2.2.GA, on a Windows XP machine, but when I try to run the app server, the result is: completely no answer.

My screen show only a blank row in this way:

C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin> run

C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin>

any suggestions? what can I do?

[jaikiran]

Post the output of:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

Also, you can remove the "@echo off" line from the run.bat and run that from the command prompt. That will show at what point the script is failing. If it has got anything to do with the findstr line, have a look at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/FindstrCommandNotFound

Hi Jaikiran, thank you for your help.
I removed the @echo off statemement and this allowed me to understand the problem: I didn't have the jvm.dll file in the bin/server folder in the java directory.
So, I copied the bin/client content in a new bin/server folder and now everything seems to work.
Thank you for your support,
Marco

Looks like your JAVA_HOME value was actually pointing to a JRE instead of a JDK.

[despontao]

yes, this was the situation, and I added the server folder in the jre.
after your comment, I changed the jre with the jdk, but still the same problem. So, I corrected again in the same way: I created a new server folder, and copied all files from the client folder.

Now I'm trying to compile one of the workbook example of EJB3 oreilly book, but something doesn't work properly.
This is the output of ant statement:

Do you think there is still something wronk with my jdk?

[jaikiran]

Going the compile time error messages, you are not pointing to the correct version of Java (using an older version of Java).

[despontao]

Finally I re-installed the jsk completely, and I deleted one space in the JAVA_HOME definition, and everything is fine. Thank you.

Hi,
I seem to have the same problem as described above.

When trying to start up the JBoss Server 4.2.3.GA on my Windows Vista 64 machine it stops at the following line:

C:\Installs\jboss-4.2.3.GA\jboss-4.2.3.GA\bin>"C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin\bin\java" -server -version 2>&1 | findstr /I hotspot 1>nul

which seems to be a check for the -server flag of the the jvm.

I have no idea as to what the problem could be, since I just installed the most recent version of Java EE as well as the newest JDK. Also the findstr command is supported on my console.

I would be very thankful for any pointers or suggestions.

[jaikiran]

Can you remove the @echo off from the run.bat and then run it from the command prompt and post the entire output here? And what do you mean by

it stops at the following line

Does it hang? Or does the control return back to the command prompt? Also what does:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

output?

By the way, C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin\bin\java looks suspicious. Are you sure its the correct path?

[zofe7]

Does it hang? Or does the control return back to the command prompt?

The control does return to back to the command prompt.

echo %JAVA_HOME% outputs:
C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin

This is actually where I put my downloaded Java EE + SDK, bin being the directory where the client and server directories lie.

The whole output from trying to run it:

echo %JAVA_HOME% outputs:
C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre\bin

This looks incorrect. The JAVA_HOME should be set to:

set JAVA_HOME=C:\Sun\SDK\jdk\jre

[zofe7]

That was the problem, thank you very much!!!!
