    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exception when starting 4.2.3

    inuxbridge

      Hello,

      Could someone please tell me why I am getting a slew of java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError exceptions such as the following when I start JBoss on my Mac.

      Thank you for your time.

          I wouldn't expect the deployment to fail with a NoClassDefFoundError for this class. Is this a clean installation of JBoss? Did you do any changes after downloading JBoss? If not, then maybe the downloaded file was corrupt. Try downloading JBoss again.

            Try as suggested jaikiran.

            If your Jboss starting with error you check host file.

              I'm having the same problem but it happens when I try to start jboss over ssh execution. Something like this:

              ssh localhost "/opt/jboss/bin/run.sh start"


              If I start it in the local machine it works fine, but if I start it remotely, the same stacktrace appears.

              Any idea?

                Why use the parameter start?

                  greis

                  You're right. The start parameter is unnecessary but doesn't affect the behavior. I think I found the problem. The script doesn't use the JAVA_HOME that I set on the /etc/profile. Now it is working with this:

                  ssh localhost "export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.6 && /opt/jboss/bin/run.sh"

                    Hi,

                    I have downloaded the latest version jboss Application server (jboss-4.2.3.GA-jdk6.zip) and unzipped.

                    But when I start the server I see many errors stack trace on the server console, specified below.

                      greis,

                      w.r.t your post; I as well check if it is using the correct Java_home by editing the run.bat file and echoing the JAVA_HOME, found no issues with that.

                      I Also edited run.bat, and changed:
                      set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms128m -Xmx512m

                      to:

                      set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dhttp.proxyHost=10.1.162.14 -Xms128m -Xmx512m

                      But still it didn't work.

                        Look again at what you downloaded: jboss-4.2.3.GA-jdk6.zip

                        This download for 4.2.3 is targeted for JDK6. However, you are using JDK5:

                        12:07:43,171 INFO [ServerInfo] Java version: 1.5.0_16,Sun Microsystems Inc.
                        12:07:43,171 INFO [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_16-b02,Sun Microsystems Inc.

                        You need to either download the regular 4.2.3 zip file, or install and use JDK6.
