any help or suggestion will be appreciated ,from two weeks struggling with the same issue , having dealines to finish it soon.

It will be a lot of work to migrate from JBoss3 to JBoss5.

I remember that there are

- classloading issues (you might pack libs like xml/xerces in your deployment) that might not work

- xml descriptors and configs are stronger validated

- can't bring all MBeans to work because of using special  internals (remove it by using standard features)

- CMP container change the standard locking behaviour

In your case I suppose classloading issues. You should migrate the application is several steps.

Also you should prefere the latest 5.1 release instead of 5.0

[jbossupgradation]

Thanks a lot for your reply , i read this note in many places to use JBoss5.1 instead of JBoss5.0.

So i tried to downlaod this , but didn't get the correct one .

It has come up with two versions one JBoss5.1 & other one is JBoss5.1withjdk1.6 , but both is not working.

if you can provide me the appropriate link for downloading this.It will be really very helpful, tried many times to work with what is available now ,but not getting the correct files.

[wdfink]

If you clik on 'Downloads' in the header menu above you should linked to http://www.jboss.org/jbossas/downloads

Here you scoll to the 5.1 section and download the version of the 2009-05-23.

This link provide a list of possible downloads binary (java5 java6), src and the related checksum. You might check MD5 or SHA after the download.

You should use jboss-5.1.0.GA.zip if you have no Java6 or jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6.zip if you run a JVM version 6.

[jbossupgradation]

Thanks for your reply sir.

I have downloaded from the same link and jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6.zip is not  working one.

Whenever i have downladed it and tried to unzip it, it's throwing error in that, that's y i asked you the location from where i can have the correct version of JBoss5 for jdk1.6.

[wdfink]

What is the error message of unzip?

Is there a firewall or a virus scanner in between that destroy the zip?

Can you try to download from a different location?

[jbossupgradation]

error while opening the zip file is "cannot open file:it doesnot appear to be a valid archive.If you downloaded the file ,try downloading the file again." and  "End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a Zip file, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part Zip file".

[wdfink]

Check the MD5 or SHA1 checksum after download, as I said before it looks like a download problem. The ZIP file is damaged.

I have observed such if you have a virus scanner in between, it will unpack and analyze the ZIP. I don't know much about such tools, only that after the admin change the policy of the scanner it works.

With Linux you can check the md5 by using 'md5sum', also Firefox plugins (downloadthemall) include a md5 check.

[jbossupgradation]

Thanks for your help, I have one more doubt regarding this.

We are using EJB1.1 in our project , will JBoss5.0.1 support this?

[wdfink]

I hope you've managed your download now, it might be of interest what the problem was.

Also you talk about 5.0.1 migration and 5.1.0 download, I recommend to use 5.1!

I've migrated a EJB1.1 application to AS5 only with some minor issues where non standard conform behaviour was used. This can be a bit effort.

But in general the EJB2.1 cover EJB1.1.
