Issues starting up portal

[cblumenro]

All,

I'm having severe issues getting GateIn to start up correctly. I downloaded GateIn 3.0 GA, unzipped it, modified to be used with MySQL (as described somewhere else in the forum) and I start it from within JBoss Dev Studio 3. I get several error messages.

In particular I get:

1)

22:25:51,046 ERROR [ContainerUtil] Cannot load property file null

java.io.IOException: Child not found gatein.ear/lib/exo.portal.webui.portal-3.0.0-GA.jar/conf/configuration.properties/ for FileHandler@4681268[path= context=file:/C:/GateIn/GateIn-3.0.0-GA/server/default/deploy/ real=file:/C:/GateIn/GateIn-3.0.0-GA/server/default/deploy/], available children: [FileHandler@26495047[path=admin-console.war .....
    at org.jboss.virtual.plugins.registry.DefaultVFSRegistry.findHandler(DefaultVFSRegistry.java:128)

...

This is really weird as there is really not file /conf/configuration.properties in that jar. Instead there is a file /conf/configuration.xml. So I wonder why it wants to read the .properties file and not the .xml file.

2)

22:26:05,127 ERROR [RepositoryService] Error start repository service
javax.jcr.RepositoryException: _sample-portal not bound: Cannot instantiate component class org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.storage.jdbc.optimisation.CQJDBCWorkspaceDataContainer: Cannot instantiate component class org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.storage.jdbc.optimisation.CQJDBCWorkspaceDataContainer
    at org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.RepositoryContainer.registerWorkspace(RepositoryContainer.java:374)

...

This happens although I removed the sample portal from the deploy directory. Also, a directory C:\system_sample-portal is created.

3)

22:26:05,132 ERROR [STDERR] javax.jcr.RepositoryException: Repository 'repository' not found.
22:26:05,133 ERROR [STDERR]     at org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.RepositoryServiceImpl.getRepository(RepositoryServiceImpl.java:203)

4)

I attached the files I modified. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Sounds like you've hit a known issue: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBEPP-320.

You can download the attachment from that issue - properties-service.xml file, and place it into your JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy.

GateIn needs the following system property set: exo.conf.dir.name=gatein

It's normally set through jboss.conf (jboss.conf.bat), but that file is currently ignored by JBDS.

Thanks, Marco. This was obviously exactly what I needed.

To get rid of the sample_portal I also recreated my DB.

Now GateIn starts without any error message.

Hi, I have I similar problem with config file at startup on the Tomcat distribution. Any solution to that?

Thanks.

Hi,

I face the same problems with a 3.10 GateIn version (with JBoss AS 5.1.0 JDK6). I modified the properties-service.xml file, but it didn't solve the problem. Do I need to modify manually the following files as Nic did ?

idm-configuration.xml

repository-configuration.xml

jcr-configuration.xml

I only modified the configuration.properties as mentionned in the reference guide.

Regards.

This thread is about starting GateIn from JBoss Development Studio / Eclipse + JBoss Tools.

If that's your use case, and you're having a problem, then it will help if you post some stack traces.

Otherwise, GateIn starts out of the box without you having to modify anything.
