Could not load servlet class

[bhammond8587]

I am new to JBoss, and I'm having what is probably a simple problem, but I haven't been able to solve it yet.  I am running JBoss 5.1.0 with Java SDK 1.6.0_20 on a Linux box.  I downloaded the JBoss source and built it.  The build seemed to go correctly, at least I didn't see any error messages.  When I run it, however, I get a consistent warning that JBoss couldn't load com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet/WSServlet.  Immediately after, I get a classNotFoundException for com.sun.xml.ws.transport.http.servlet.WSServletContextListener.  The warning is the first indication that something went wrong in the invokation.  I've checked and the jar file containing both those classes exists and is in the client folder.  I tried rebuilding JBoss, but it didn't seem to make any difference; I'm still getting the errors.  It appears that the error is preventing any of my deployments from succeeding.  Can anyone tell me what's causing the error and how I can fix it?

Thanks for your help,

Brian

I found the problem.  I needed to be logged in as root.

Actually, it is recommended that you not run JBoss AS as root. I either run it using my account, or as a separate 'jboss' account. When doing this, you have to make sure that the account used to run JBoss AS is the owner of the entire JBoss AS directory structure.

Granted, but I'm happy to have a solution even if it's a bad one.

Thanks,
