I was trying to deploy the JBoss Portal 2.4 alpha instead of previously installed 2.2 (which ran quite fine) and ran into the following problem during startup:

2006-05-15 15:58:37,467 WARN [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Problem starting service portal:service=CMS

The datasource definition xml is in place, database etc. is also fine - see below:

2006-05-15 15:58:37,559 INFO [org.hibernate.connection.DatasourceConnectionProvider] Using datasource: java:PortalDS

First I tried to run JBossPortal 2.4alpha under JBoss 4.0.3sp1 which I used with previous version of JBossPortal. To check if it matters I upgraded it to 4.0.4rc2 - and it didn't help.

Could pls someone give me a hint on what should I do to overcome this?
