    java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

    girevik

      Hello all,

       

      I'm new to trying to run JBoss localy, so pleaes forgive me if I don't provide enough information (or too much).

       

      We have some web services that we are currently running on a JBoss server that I'm trying to run locally for debug purposes.  I can run the services okay when I execute them as a Junit test, but when I try to run them on a my JBoss 5.1 server within Eclipse I get the below error.  If I try to run it a 2nd time I get a different error; a class not found on that same DFClient class (but have verified that the jar it's in is getting deployed).  This has got me running in circles.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.

          Is this your code:

           

          com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager.readPersistentProperties(PreferencesManager.java:321)

           

          That is not part of JBoss AS.  What have you do so far to debug that code?

           

          Based on the name of the class and method, I will assume that the code is attempting to read a properties file. Thus my first suspiscion is that the code could not find the properties file. Have you verified that the properties file appears where the code expects to find it? (I assume you deployed a WAR file, what are the full contents of that WAR? You can get that by running "jar -tf xxx.war")

            No, the prefrences manager is not part of my code which is what's making this so hard to figure out.  It's part of the verdor "under the covers" code.  I think I know what it would be trying to access based on what it's doing at that stage, but I've confirmed that file is in my war as well.  I was hoping someone could point me to a deployment or startup issue.

             

            Upon closer relefection, I am getting an error that I hadn't paid much attention to before because I thought it was on server startup rather than when the code got executed.  The top part of the stack trace looks like this:
