JBoss Portal giving error on startup

[george_portal]

Hi All,

I'm new to JBoss products. Tried installing JBoss Portal in my machine. I downloaded the JBoss Portal 2.6.4 bundle and unzipped it as per the reference guide to C:/jboss-2.6.4 folder. Tried to run the server from bin folder but received the below error in dos window:

Error : no 'server' JVM at 'C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jre1.6.0_01\bin\server\jvm.dll'

Could anyone help me out in understanding whats happening and how to start working with this?

You have JAVA_HOME set to a JRE, not a JDK. Set it to the JDK. This is a known bug in the startup scripts, and there is a JIRA for it.

Thanks Peter.

I set the JAVA_HOME variable to my j2sdk folder. Now dll issue seems to be resolved. But I'm getting a new problem while trying to run the server:

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/management/NotificationEmitter (Un
supported major.minor version 49.0)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:539)
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:123)

Could anyone please help me to resolve this.

Thanks
George

Based on the error message, I assume you set JAVA_HOME to a 1.4 JDK. You need 1.5.
