Starting failed jboss:service=Naming java.lang.ClassCastExce

[bbeloff]

Hi

I've got a serious problem deploying an application to JBoss 4.0.2. The application ran fine on JBoss 3.2.6.

Without the application deployed, JBoss 4.0.2 runs fine, with MySQL. With my application library JAR files in server/default/lib, startup always fails. The following is a snippet from the console.

What could be going on?

Thanks for your help

Bruno.

Hi Bruno,

I am having a similar problem.
Have you found the solution yet?
If so, would you mind sharing it?...
Thanks.

Hi all,

I have almost exactly the same problem. Any help is much appreciated.

14:53:33,708 ERROR [NamingService] Starting failed jboss:service=Naming

I'm messing around with the original installation, and am probably missing some thing (or possibly using a 4.0.0 artefact). I get this exception at the very beginning of JBoss' startup.

On line 235 of NamingService, there's the following:

String value = (String) env.get(key);

This seems the suggest that there's a problem with the enviroment. This is also what I've been tinkering with, but I'm having a tough time localizing the cause. I don't know why I'm getting a CompoundName instead of a String.

Thanks!

I did the following to get this working (JBoss 4.0.2). I'm still hoping for a better way though, or an explanation why it failed in the first place.

In NamingService.java (\server\src\main\org\jboss\naming), change the line:

String value = (String) env.get(key);

into:

String value = env.get(key).toString();

More details about the jdk are required. On your jdk the default InitialContext environment is seen to contain entries other than the expected string/string key/value properties from the server conf/jndi.properties file. Create a bug report in jira with the details. Since you have already done some hacking, simply dump the env by updating the "InitialContext Environment: " debug line:

 Hashtable env = iniCtx.getEnvironment();
 if (debug)
 log.debug("InitialContext Environment: "+env);

and attach the jdk and debug info to the following jira issue:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2265
