ClassNotFoundException while Jboss server starting

[msurenderforu]

Hi,

When I paste my application (excted as folders) DirectAXs-Admin.war folder in \jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy folder,

Jboss6 server is running fine.

But When I paste my application as war DirectAXs-Admin.war war file in \jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy folder,

While starting Jboss6 server, It is giving ClassNotFoundException in console as below.

But MYSQL.xmd file is available in the E:\SUCHOS_PROJECT\jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy\DirectAXs-Admin.war\WEB-INF\classes path. (i,e. MYSQL.xmd file available in war file)

Is there any configurations to extract my application as folders?

(or)

Is there any configurations to extract my application war into tmp folder/any other folder?

Please guide me.

Help is highly appreciated.

Exactly how are you referencing this file? Please post the code for the com.directaxs.adminconsole.util.xml.DOMUtils.parse() method and highlight line 82.

Hi Peter,

DOMUtils file is called from InitConnectionPool.java class to read path of MYSQL.xmd.

Finally I am reading real path of MYSQL.xmd file of DirectAXs-Admin.war as below (or) final read path is below

E:\SUCHOS_PROJECT\jboss-6.0.0.Final\server\default\deploy\DirectAXs-Admin.war\WEB-INF\classes\MYSQL.xmd

Please guide me.

Thanks in Advance.

[peterj]

That path will only work if the file exists on the hard drive, and when packaged as a WAR file, that xmd file does not exist on the hard drive. Instead, you should be opening the file as a resource, like this:

InputStream xmd = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("MYSQL.xmd");

What this does is open the file based on the classpath, and since MYSQL.xmd is in the classpath (WEB-INF/classes is always in the classpath), it will find the file.

Thank you Peter for for giving reply.

The same war file is running fine with jboss-4.0.5.GA but Exception in console with Jboss6.0.0.Final.

Is any where/any location, is the deployed war file extracted as folders? (like in tmp folder (or) any other folder )

I am not able to find war extracted path?

Could you Please tell war extracted path?

(and)

To Extract war file as folders, Should I need to do any configurations in Jboss6.0.0.Final?

Please guide me.

Thanks in Advance.

[peterj]

There will be a location in a temp directory where the war is extracted, but that locatrion will be idfferent any time that you run. And using a hard-coded full path is NOT the correct way to do this; you really should be using one of the ClassLoader.getResource* methods.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

I think it is extracting in tmp/vfs with unique name everytime.

But how same war is working with Jboss4.0.5.GA, I am not able to understand.

Should I do any other configurations in Jboss6.0.0.Final server?

Please guide me.

Thanks in Advance.

Relying on quirks within the application server is never the right thing to do, the quirks will change from release to release. You should always do things the correct way.
