Hi all,
I'm trying to get the Nexus OSS war to run on JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final. Unfortunately, I get "JBAS018040: Failed to start context" (without [to me] any really interesting information).
JBoss also lists 2 warnings before the failure:
18:34:36,560 WARN [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-4) Class Path entry activation.jar in "/content/nexus.war/WEB-INF/lib/mail-1.4.jar" does not point to a valid jar for a Class-Path reference.
18:34:36,688 WARN [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-1) JBAS015893: Encountered invalid class name 'org.xmlpull.mxp1.MXParser,org.xmlpull.mxp1_serializer.MXSerializer' for service type 'org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserFactory'
I got rid of them by removing mail-1.4.jar and xpp3_min-1.1.4c.jar from nexus-2.1.2.war/WEB-INF/lib but it doesn't seem to affect the end result. (Was that the right thing to do, by the way? Or should I just ignore these WARNs?)
There is another message that might be interesting:
19:58:51,993 INFO [org.jboss.as.pojo] (MSC service thread 1-2) JBAS017000: Found legacy bean/pojo namespace: urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0 - might be missing some xml features (potential exceptions).
It is not a WARN so I'm not sure how important this is but the "potential exceptions" sounds ominous. :-)
I have attached both boot.log and server.log (with the above warnings "fixed"). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Hilco
P.S. I first asked on the Nexus mailing list but JBoss is not officially supported by Sonatype so I got no help there. :-( They would be happy to accept patches though.
