Cannot access JBoss 4.2 from internet when run as Windows Se

jbn1v May 9, 2008 8:45 PM

I need to run JBoss as a windows service. I used JavaService to install it as a service which I got to work. But when I added the "-b 0.0.0.0" parameter needed to allow access from other machines JBoss blows up.
How do I run JBoss as a windows service AND allow access to it from remote machines?

My service installation command is:

JavaService.exe -install ResonantHub "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" -Djava.class.path="C:\Jboss\bin\run.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15\lib\tools.jar" -Djava.endorsed.dirs="C:\Jboss/lib/endorsed" -Xms128M -Xmx512M -start org.jboss.Main -params "-b 0.0.0.0" -stop org.jboss.Main -method systemExit -out "C:\Jboss\bin\out.log" -err "C:\Jboss\bin\err.log" -current "C:\Jboss\bin" -depends MySQL -auto -overwrite -startup 6

The error I'm getting is:

Does the server start without any errors when you don't start it as a service and instead use:

run.bat -b 0.0.0.0

Also, using JavaService is not recommended. Instead you can use JBossNative (which can be downloaded from http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/downloads/jboss-native/?action=a&windowstate=maximized) to start JBoss as a service.
See this for more details http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBossNativeWindows

Running from run.bat with the -b 0.0.0.0 works fine. Running as a service w/o the "-b 0.0.0.0" also works fine.

I didn't know about JBossNative -- I found an article recommending JavaService on the JBoss site somewhere (maybe it was the wiki). But I'll try JBossNative tonight.

Thanks.

I looks like are trying to run JBossAS under the System account. Check the Services control panel and change the your service to run under another account. Usually you should create an account specifically for the service. (You should also do this if you move to JBoss Native.)

Trying a different account didn't help with JavaService.

So I tried the suggestion of using JBossNative. Initially this had an error during startup until I tried the suggestion of using a different account (the error was very different than what I was getting from JavaService -- but I was desperate). Now it is working! So the fix seems to be to use JBossNative AND to not use the system account.

Thanks for your help both of you.
