Deployment Problems

[stevenm]

Hi Again,

Sorry of this is yet another simple question but I am new to the jBPM and am learning as I go.

I have created a new process, added tasks and swimlanes and am ready to deploy. Whenever I go to the deployment tab I tick all the necessary folders as mentioned in the documents but when I click on "Deploy Process Archive..." I get an "Unexpected Deployment Exception". Clicking on Details just tells me to look in the logs.

Where are these logs? The only one I can seem to find is the boot log.

Also when I click on test connection it is successful.

Any ideas?

[kukeltje]

the logs referred to are the eclipse logs in workspace/.metadata but also have a look at the appserver logs

[stevenm]

Thanks for the quick reply. The log in .metadata shows this:

Can someone point out the problem for me?

[kukeltje]

Yes, look at the server log, there should be a reason there for sending an http 500

[stevenm]

Where can i find the server log? The only once I can find is the boot log.

[kukeltje]

assuming you are using jboss, then it is probably turned of in the log4j config and only logs to the console (if you use one for starting jboss).

[mailinator]

Hello,

I came as far as stevenm. Found the log4j.properties file, too (in your eclipse project in /bin/com) and since it says in line 1+2

# Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to CONSOLE
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, CONSOLE

I guess no log file is created. So, how do I change line 2 so a log file is created?

Greetings

Florian

[kukeltje]

log4j for your SERVER, not eclipse or anything. in jboss it is in the /server//conf dir

[mailinator]

Thanks. Found a file named log4j.xml (that the right one?), but it was at /server/jbpm/conf
I tried to change the value of the "Target" parameter in the appender definition, first to "jbpmLog.txt" then with a full path, but in both cases I wasn't able to find the file. And console still displays messages (getting an exception quite at the beginning, sth. about main deployer having a problem...)

Some more tips?

I myself have had some problems with the logging in the starterkit jbossAS. Can you copy one from a normal JBoss AS installation and try that one?

[mailinator]

Didn't work. But I did a new install of the starterkit plus the jboss eclipse IDE on another computer and now it works...
