Does jBPM 4 Require JBoss 5?

[matt.d.tucker]

Hi,

I'm currently using jBPM 3 on JBoss AS 4.3.0. I would like to use jBPM 4 for a new project I am working on but my organization will be unable to upgrade to JBoss AS 5.

Will jBPM 4 run on JBoss AS 4.3.0 or does it require JBoss AS 5?

Thanks,

Matt Tucker

jBPM 4 core libraries run on JBoss 4.3. Not sure about the webconsole. Not saying it doesn't, but also not that it does. Just don't know.

We run jBPM4 in tomcat.
Using maven for dependency resolution.

OK thank you for the replies. I think if the core jBPM 4 libraries play nicely with JBoss 4 libs, that is all we need.

Thanks!

jbpm4 uses log4j.Logger.trace() method with it's own logger loader (which sucks). That loader loads Logger class instance from /jboss/lib/log4j-boot.jar in jboss-4.0.4.GA, which contains older version of log4j (with no trace method) - so you'll get NoSuchMethodException.

You can substitute this jar with the same from jboss-4.2.3.GA to resolve this issue

I've alse got http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1938 error, but upgrading javassist with jar from jboss 4.2.3 resolved it

@qq qq,

Thanks for reporting. You are always welcome to make a wiki page on how to use jBPM4 with JBoss AS 4.0.x. Glad to know it works.

Cheers,

Don't know how to change my name. 'Edit profile' doesn't allow it.
