    JBoss&Jetty with IBM JDK 1.5

    darylb

      Has anybody ever gotten JBoss4 to work with IBM's Java 1.5 JDK? I seem to be having many problems starting up the server; specifically related to parsing XML documents.

      Here is the type of info I get in jboss.trace file when it tries to start up (note java version and platform info is shown in case you wanted it):

      14:28:21,396 INFO [Server] Root Deployment Filename: jboss-service.xml
      14:28:21,400 INFO [Server] Starting General Purpose Architecture (GPA)...

      org.jboss.security.auth.login.ParseException: Encountered "<?xml" at line 1, column 1.
      Was expecting one of:
       <EOF>
       <IDENTIFIER> ...
      
       at org.jboss.security.auth.login.SunConfigParser.generateParseException(SunConfigParser.java:389)
      [...]
      



      There are more exceptions that follow; many of which are obviously caused by the login-config not being parsed.

      So far I have tried:

      - Looking for another config parser; maybe I shouldn't be using "SunConfigParser" since my JDK is IBM's. (couldn't find another parser... where to look?)
      - Forcing the IBM JDK to use the same xml parser as JBoss (either didn't work at all or it made no difference).
      - I read somewhere that it complains about "<?xml" if there is anything wrong at all with the login-config.xml (I have validated it, and was also using it with Sun's JDK and it was fine).
      - I have verified that the URL in the xml doctype declaration is reachable by the maching running the JBoss server.

      Does anybody know what my problem might be?

          This happens to me using the Sun (1.5) JRE as well. I am trying to start JBoss from within the Web Tools Platform (WTP) plugin for Eclipse. I am using WTP to create web services, but it needs a deployment server setup, so using JBoss IDE or MyEclipse won't help me much in this respect.
