Ok, I admit it! I'm a newbie. I've used Weblogic and Websphere, but I want to try out JBoss at home, and explore EJB 3.0.

My environment is Win XP SP 2.

I have downloaded Java JDK 5 and installed, and set JAVA_HOME to this.

I have downloaded JBoss 4.0.1 RC2, unzipped it, started it up, and viola! it works.

I want to install EJB 3.0, so I am attempting to install JBoss AOP 1.0 Final, and this is where the problems begin. I downloaded the Final distribution and unzipped it as I was supposed to. I then removed the jboss-aop.deployer from the all/deploy directory, copied the contents of jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer to the all/deploy directory, and renamed it to jboss-aop.deployer. I then checked the META-INF/jboss-service.xml file, and it is configured like the wiki says.

When I try to start p JBoss, i get the infamous java.lang.NoSuchMethodError. Following is the stack trace:

Any ideas or help? I appreciate it!
