JBoss 7 startup fails

Hi, I was having a go with entity beans 3.x jboss 7, objectdb and the guestbook web application but cannot come out of the swamp.

I use eclipse indigo as IDE

The "src" folder contains the pachake guest and within the classes: Guest.java, GuestListener.java and GuestServlet.java

The WebContent/META-INF dir contains:

context.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/Guestbook"/>

persistence.xml

<persistence version="2.0" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence   http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
  <persistence-unit name="GuestbookPU" transaction-type="JTA">

      <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="admin"/>
    </properties>
  </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

The WebContent/WEB-INF/lib dir contains:

The WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml contains:

Did any one have a go at Jboss 7 and succeed?  If so any advice i l helpful

If you built the project by yourself step by step - maybe you misplaced a directory or a file.

The error message indicates that the guest package in not found by the ObjectDB Enhancer.

Try running the Maven version of this project.

Thanks,

 I downloaded guestbook-web.zip (the maven project) and imported it into eclipse but I now get the following error in pom.xml. The sesction involved is:

The error message is:

I also have imported other maven projects from jboss but I don't get such errors.

Thanks,

Argentino

Please provide step by step instructions for reproducing these two problems, starting with IDE downloading and installation, plugins installation, etc.

Thanks for you help. Here the requested info:

The eclipse was istalled by downloading a zip file and uncompressing it in /usr/local/eclipseIndigo (in a Linux machine, Ubunti 11.x).

As plugins I installed the JBoss tools 3.3 following the instructions at http://www.jboss.org/tools/download/installation/update_3_3

I attach some files to give more details.

Hope this helps you to understand the problem.

Cheers,

Argentino

Thank you for this report. Some adjustments were required in order to make ObjectDB and JBoss AS 7 work together, and build 2.3.0_02 of ObjectDB should work with JBoss 7.

You should use, however, only the Java EE tutorial  - the other web examples can be used on Tomcat, Jetty and GlassFish, but not on JBoss.

A ready to use Maven project is attached. Just import it (File > Import... > Maven > Existing Maven Project) and run it on JBoss 7 (Run As > Run on Server > JBoss 7.0 ...)

Again thanks for your attention.

Still not there though.

Here is the report. I thought I was missing the objectdb-2.3.0_02.jar library but it it correctly deployed in WEB-INF/lib directory.

Ciao,

Could you please try JBoss 7.0.2.Final - the attached Maven project works well on it.

Another idea - try to define a dummy jta data source. As explained in this forum thread:

• A JTA data source is ignored by ObjectDB but is required by JBoss. See the attached persistence.xml file. If the IDE requires specifying SQL driver, etc - specify default settings (anything that is acceptable) and later, if necessary, edit the persistence.xml file manually, following the attached sample file.

For example:

<persistence-unit name="GuestbookPU" transaction-type="JTA">
    <provider>com.objectdb.jpa.Provider</provider>
    <jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source>
    <properties>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="$objectdb/db/guests.odb"/>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="admin"/>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="admin"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

I wonder if this might be the result of using different JBoss versions.

Again, many thanks for your efforts.

In the end it worked inserting the following datasource in pesistence.xml

<jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS</jta-data-source>

Thanks for the grat help.

Ciao

Hi,

I m having the same problem using the same jboss as 7 and eclipse and I tried everything argentino did but the problem continues.

The files are attached.

Thanks in advance.

This is a JBoss problem rather than an ObjectDB problem (JBoss fails on NullPointerException according to your stack trace). It affects using JBoss 7.0.0 with EclipseLink as well:

https://community.jboss.org/message/615081

https://community.jboss.org/thread/169944

You are using JBoss 7.0.0. Try JBoss 7.0.2 that may fix it.

It works. Thanks for the reply
