Facing issues while launching Jboss AS7 using ant script

[nchennareddy]

I downloaded AS7 and configured standalone.xml file accordingly. I am trying to launch Jboss

using ant script.

<target name="launch-jboss" description="launching jboss">

     <fail message="ERROR: 'jboss.maxmemory' property not set." unless="jboss.maxmemory" />

     <echo>starting jboss... MAXMEMORY is ${jboss.maxmemory}</echo>

     <java jar="${jboss.dir}\jboss-modules.jar" fork="true" failonerror="true" maxmemory="${jboss.maxmemory}">

          <jvmarg value="${jboss.dir}\modules"/>

          <jvmarg value="javax.xml.jaxp-provider"/>

          <jvmarg value="org.jboss.as.standalone"/>

          <jvmarg value="-Djboss.home.dir=${jboss.dir}"/>

          <jvmarg value="-Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=${jboss.dir}\standalone\log\server.log"/>

          <jvmarg value=" Dlogging.configuration=file:${jboss.dir}\standalone\configuration\logging.properties"/>

      </java>

</target>

In the above block ${jboss.dir} variable refers to location of jboss root folder.

When I launch the ant target using batch script I am getting following exception

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: C:\jboss\modules

[java] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:\jboss\modules

[java] Exception in thread "main"

I commented out <jvmarg value="${jboss.dir}\modules"/> and executed the ant target.

I got the following exception.

[java] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/jaxp-provider

[java] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.jaxp-provider

Clearly I am missing something. Can you tell me If I have to add anything to class path or if I am missing something here. Any help would be really appreciated

okay I was able to fix the above problem. I missed few arguments "-mp" and "-jaxpmodule" and also these are arguments not jvmarg. Modifying ant task to do the following  fixed the issue.

<java jar="${jboss.dir}\jboss-modules.jar" fork="true" failonerror="true" maxmemory="${jboss.maxmemory}">

   <jvmarg value="-Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=${jboss.dir}\standalone\log\server.log"/>

   <jvmarg value="-Dlogging.configuration=file:${jboss.dir}\standalone\configuration\logging.properties"/>

   <arg value="-mp"/>

   <arg value="${jboss.dir}\modules"/>

   <arg value="-jaxpmodule"/>

   <arg value="javax.xml.jaxp-provider"/>

   <arg value="org.jboss.as.standalone"/>

   <arg value="-Djboss.home.dir=${jboss.dir}"/>

</java>
