Install on Jboss 3.2.7 and JDK 1.4.3 - Issue

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

Today i downloaded the jboss 3.2.7 and downloaded the jforum zip file and extracted the same in the deploy folder. But its giving the error while trying to start the jboss.

Packages waiting for a deployer:
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@8d848be8 { url=file:/D:/jboss-3.2.7/server/default/deploy/JForum-2.1.4/ }
deployer: null
status: null
state: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER
watch: file:/D:/jboss-3.2.7/server/default/deploy/JForum-2.1.4/
lastDeployed: 1120271973452
lastModified: 1120271902490
mbeans:

Could you give a hint why this error is happening.

Thanks

Well, I personally don't have any experience with JBoss that may help to find the issue :\. Maybe another user of JForum does.

I'm doing the same thing here. Same error.
I expected to see a .war file in the download.
Think I may write a quick build script to package it into a *.war or *.ear so appservers can deploy. If I do I'll post here

To anyone wanting to deploy to JBoss... (and who knows ant ;o)

This is a simple build script that will package and deploy to JBoss (or create a war suitable to deploy to a J2EE servlet container). Download the JForums, extract it to a folder, create a build.xml in the root with the following in it and modify the jboss.deploy.dir to point to your JBoss installation. Run it et voila.

Good luck
(I think they distribute this incorrectly - they should have a source distribution and a bin distribution not a jumble of both - just my humblke opinion)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<project name="${project.name}" default="deploy" basedir=".">
	<property name="project.name" location="jforum" />
	<property name="jboss.deploy.dir" location="C:/jboss-4.0.2/server/default/deploy" />
	
	<!-- Copies what we need for the war -->
	<target name="create.war" depends="" description="Creates the .war">
		<jar destfile="${project.name}.war">
			<zipfileset dir="${basedir}">

				<include name="**/templates/**/*.*" />
				<include name="**/upgrade/**/*.*" />
				<include name="index.htm" />
			</zipfileset>
		</jar>
	</target>

	<!-- Copies the .war to the jboss.deploy.dir -->
	<target name="deploy" depends="create.war" description="Copies the .war to the jboss.deploy.dir">
		<copy overwrite="yes" toDir="${jboss.deploy.dir}" file="${project.name}.war" />

	</target>
</project>

Errrr. There's JBoss code in the source (JBossCacheEngine imports org.jboss.cache.*)

Well, that's JBossCache, which is only a lib

Fair point (but it does come from the Jboss App Server code repository and pedantically speaking isn't a lib if in source format). But that's just a stupid discussion - your code is v nice to work with! Thanks
