J2EE 1.3 RI doesn't start...

[Frederic Esnault]

Hi all,

I just downloaded J2EE 1.3 and setup, to go along with my HFE study.
But i cannot start the J2ee server (J2EE RI).

I get this :

J2EE server listen port: 1050

Help, I don't wanna use another server like JBoss... Someone knows?

Oh forgot to say, i check with netstat, noone is using port 1050 (netstat -an), and i tried to change port number in orb.properties to many values, with no effect.

Ok, this is solved (well at least now J2EE 1.3 RI is launched

This is what i was afraid of.

After going through web search and find a sun bug about j2ee 1.3 describing exactly my problem, declared as "closed, will not be fixed".

Their explanation was incompatibility problem between j2ee 1.3 and j2se 1.4.
So i tried to download sun java system application server (sjsap) only from j2ee 1.4.

I went through HFE tutorial (first chapter) with only a few deploytool differences, but managed to finish it. But, my client finished, i was unable to make the whole thing work together.

I decided to give up and to do what i didn't want to : remove jdk 1.5 and setup jdk 1.3...

I did, rebooted, and tried, and the j2ee 1.3 RI appserver launches correctly.
I go again through the tutorial in HFE to redo the whole EAR creation process, and i'll tell you if the whole thing works.

Wait and see ! (and hope... )

[Frederic Esnault]

Well problem again.

Everything went perfectly fine into deploytool and client jar and client compilation, but when it comes to run the whole thing, same error occurs :

java.io.FileNotFoundException: F:\Java\Certification\SCBCD\hfe\projects\advice\.
.\config\security.properties (Le chemin d'acc�s sp�cifi� est introuvable)

and the same for other xxx.properties files...

Any idea?

[Frederic Esnault]

Ok now i copied the config directory fron the j2ee 1.3 RI into my project directory and it works.

There is still a problem due to the bug in RI:
java.rmi.RemoteException: CORBA BAD_OPERATION 0

You should refer to the HFE errata there to fix it :

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjejb/errata/hfjejb.confirmed

I gotta go now, so I'll try as soon as I'm back. Wait and see !

[Frederic Esnault]

Voila !

I made the changes as said in the HFE errata, and now it works !

Yeepee ! I can use J2EE 1.3 RI server. I was afraid I had to work with 1.4 or JBoss.

Thanks for keeping us updated. There are quite a few of us migrating over to this board and it would have been easy for you to not update your post after getting no responses. I appreciate the information!

[Frederic Esnault]

You're welcome !

I made a document about this bug workaround, and made it available on my website here :HFE Chapter 1 bug workaround

Best thing to do is to use JDK1.3 and J2EE 1.3 and read this bug workaround; everything should rock !
