    jBPM on a Linux (debian) Box

    stoi

      hi,
      first of all, I'd like to excuse my english. I know, it is not good, but I'll try to explain my problem and hope somebody can understand and help me.

      I'll tryout jBPM on a Linux-box. I guess, it should work. But i cannot find any documentation, how to do this. In JbpmGettingStarted it is just explained, how to start in a windows-box. I tried to start run.sh. The result is, that the core-system could be startet but jboss-start failed with

      org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/srv/jboss/jbpm-server/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml could not be opened, does it exist?
      


      Then I tried to start jBPM with run.sh -c jbpm. Some nullpointer-exceptions were thrown in this variant.

      Is it possible to run jBPM (starter-kit) wtihin linux (debian) and if yes - what must be done to get it work.

      Thanks.

          you are right btw, there is not start.sh like there is a start.bat

          run -c jbpm should work afaik

          what null-pointer exceptions were there?

            the systems seems to poll something. is this right? the following sequence appears in minimum every second:

            the nullpointer exception occured not more. therefor a lot of warnings:

            and at the beginning of starting the server the following errors are displayed:
            run.sh: Missing file: /lib/tools.jar
            run.sh: Unexpected results may occur. Make sure JAVA_HOME points to a JDK and not a JRE.
            

            where can i set the JAVA_HOME variable? and what ist /lib/tools.jar? where can i get it?

            Thanks

              thanks for the answer,
              after I've added the JAVA_HOME-variable in the run.sh it seemed to work but after a while (during startup) the script shows the following error and stops:

              ./run.sh: line 181: 7001 Killed "$JAVA" $JAVA_OPTS -Djava.endorsed.dirs="$JBOSS_ENDORSED_DIRS" -classpath "$JBOSS_CLASSPATH" org.jboss.Main "$@"
              


              I cannot imagine what happend there. line 181 is the last line within the script and is an "end" statement (the last line within the script).

              I don't know, what to do. please help.

              thanks

                this sequense appears as I already mentioned in minimum every second. is this behaviour o.k or is something wrong?

                thanks

                  This is normal, see the topic Tips with jBPM server's console for more info.
