Problems installing JBoss ESB

[joshsmith]

Hi,

Im a bit confused about installing JBoss ESB. I have downloaded and installed the JBoss AS, ant and postgre database. When it comes to downloading the esb I have used tortoise svn and downloaded the trunk. Is this all that is needed? or do I download one of the packages, such as jbossesb-4.0Beta1MP1.zip?

I went to the jboss-esb\product\install folder, where I configured the deployment.properties file:

org.jboss.esb.appserver.home=C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA\jbossesb
org.jboss.esb.appserver.config=default
org.jboss.esb.config.objstore=C:\jboss-esb\product\samples\trailblazer\bankloanbrokerdemo\conf\ObjStore.xml

org.jboss.esb.db.driver.jar=postgresql-8.1-407.jdbc2ee.jar
org.jboss.esb.db.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
org.jboss.esb.db.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/jbossesb


I seem to have jboss-4.0.4.GA in both my C:\ and in the Program Files (though I think this is my mistake and have set the JBoss_HOME to C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA).

Anyway, I moved back to the \product folder and issued "ant configue.jboss", which gave the following output:

C:\jboss-esb\product\install>ant configure.jboss
Buildfile: build.xml

init:

datasource:
[echo] Installing datasource JBossESB-ds.xml
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\jboss-4.0.4.GAjbossesb\server\default\depl

hsql-datasource:

create-hsqldb:

configure.jboss:
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\jboss-4.0.4.GAjbossesb\server\default\lib
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\jboss-4.0.4.GAjbossesb\server\default\lib
[copy] Copying 1 file to C:\jboss-4.0.4.GAjbossesb\server\default\conf

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds


Then I move to the folder above, and perform 'ant deploy' and I get a load of errors and the summary:

BUILD FAILED
C:\jboss-esb\product\build.xml:87: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\jboss-esb\product\core\build.xml:39: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\jboss-esb\product\core\rosetta\build.xml:44: The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\jboss-esb\product\core\rosetta\build.xml:58: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Josh,

1. You can use either SVN or one of the packages, but it is recommended to use beta1MP1 and not the trunk. The trunk is stable, but the configuration changed and this is not documented yet (will be soon though).

2. Yes you need the AS installer, but please don't install it to anything with a space in the path like (Program Files). C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA should work well.

3. Is your appserver.home: org.jboss.esb.appserver.home=C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA\jbossesb
or should is be
org.jboss.esb.appserver.home=C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA\

I can't really know what's wrong unless you publish some stack traces. You seem to be on the right road.
