Installing JBoss ESB, "Could not determine JMS provider"

[scottlindner]

I am trying to install JBoss ESB v4.4 onto JBossAS 4.2.2.GA and am experiencing the error described in this documented bug, https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBESB-1895

The resolution does not work in my situation. Is there something else that I can try besides a complete OS rebuild and starting from scratch?

Cheers,

Hi Scott,

Can you check if the path specified in 'org.jboss.esb.server.home' contains a space. I think I remember this being a issue on windows. Are you running windows by the way?

There are no spaces in the path.

Any other thoughts on how to debug this issue? It is giving an error, but I have no clue how to trace down the cause. I have followed the instuctions to resolve this issue from the bug I listed earlier. The only thought I have to try is to resinstall everything on a freshly installed OS and try again. Since this was a clean OS to begin with, and all I installed was JBossAS 4.2.2 and JBoss ESB 4.4, I doubt I messed the OS up.

Please post your config.

org.jboss.esb.server.home=C:/JBoss/jbossesb-4.4.GA
org.jboss.esb.server.config=default

What about a space at the end of the line. It caused me a big trouble another time...

[scottlindner]

I double checked, no extra white space anywhere in the config file.

Can you add the following echo to install/build.xml:

<property name="product.dir" location=".."/>

<echo message="deploy.dir : '${deploy.dir}'"/>
 <echo message="hadeploy.dir : '${hadeploy.dir}'"/>

The above property, deploy.dir, will point to your servers configured deploy directory as specified in deployment.properties.
It will look for the presents of any of the following files in the deploy directory:

jboss-messaging
jboss-messaging.sar
jms/jbossmq-service.xml

And also check the hadeploy directory for:

jms/jbossmq-service.xml

If none of those are found you will get the message you are seeing "Could not determine JMS provider".

Can you try that and post the output after adding the echos to the ant build.xml.

Thanks,

I added those lines at the very end of the build.xml within the Project tag.

Buildfile: build.xml
[echo] deploy.dir : 'C:/JBoss/jbossesb-4.4.GA/server/default/deploy'
[echo] hadeploy.dir : 'C:/JBoss/jbossesb-4.4.GA/server/default/deploy-hasingleton'

check.deploy.props:

dependencies.source:

dependencies.jbossesb:

dependencies:

jms.config.check:

BUILD FAILED
C:\JBoss\jbossesb-4.4.GA\install\build.xml:70: Could not determine JMS provider

Shoot. I forgot to answer your last question.

The hadedeploy directory does not exist. If I were to remove the "-hasingleton" from the end of the path, then the directory would exist, and the path to the jms/jbossmq--service.xml would be valid. I suspect this is the problem. What is telling the install to add the "-hasingleton" to the end?

Thanks so much. The debug code helped me nail down the problem. I was pointing to the JBossESB directory for the installation files, not the target directory in the JBossAS.

Thanks again. The debug code really helped me nail this down.

one problem i also have is indeed the hadeploy, since the default configuration has no singleton deploy dir!

it's of no use since there are no cluster services deployed in this configuration there is no need to seperate de deploy and singleton deploy.

so maybe just commenting OUT the jms check on hadeploy line 68 and 69 in build.xml or setting hadeploy.dir = deploy.dir should solve the problem regarding jms check and default configuration.

ups... my mistake...

of course it works also with hadeploy..

i apologize if i screwed up somebody with my previos post! i got another error in my config, thats why it did not work!

cheers

Hi,

I am trying to deploy JBoss ESB 4.4 to a clean installation of JBoss AS 5.0. I get the same error as above when i run the ant file in install directory. After debugging it for a while I realized, its looking for jboss-messaging , jboss-messaging.sar and some other files in the deploy dir of the JBoss AS. But there are no such files. Its the same problem as reported in JIRA issue - JBESB-1022.

Am I missing something here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

We have not yet tried the ESB with AS 5, it has only been tested/installed into AS 4.

You should be able to install it into AS5 but I would be very surprised if it ran without error. I would expect some work on our part before this would be possible.
