I am following Arun's JBoss with XDoclet guide. I have JBoss 3.0.4 when I try http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/ after starting the server I get
HTTP ERROR: 500 sun/tools/javac/Main
RequestURI=/jmx-console/index.jsp
Can someone please tell me what causes this and how to solve it.

Your tutorial is both clear and well presented.
I had a problem building the samples with xdoclet however. I used the Build.bat that is supplied with the samples. I got 3 compiler errors in the test.ejb.CustomerBMPBMP class. What is even stranger is that the build directory and relevant code was not generated either. I did copy all the jar files, you suggested, into "samples/lib" and the same advice comes with xdoclet. Any ideas?

Thanks for feedback. I did not have BMP example with my samples.I will include BMP sample in my next release of guide.
I persume you are building your own example. I need some additional information :
What is the version of XDoclet are you using?
Are you able to compile the source file without Ant script?
What are the errors?
Are you able to compile samples with guide?

[Andrew Richards]

Arun,
Here are some more details from another post I made today:
I downloaded xdoclet-1.1.2.
As a new commer to xdoclet I thought the supplied samples where a good place to start. Unfortunately I am getting compiler errors when running the supplied Build.bat file. These are "cannot resolve symbol" errors in one of the beans. I have also tried calling ant directly, not using the batch file.
The readme.txt of the samples directory gives a list of jar files to copy into the samples/lib directory and to include in the classpath when running ant. I followed these instructions. It also mentions that even if the compile stage of the build process fails some of the following will still be generated:
What you get:
- Generated source files went to src-gen directory.
- Generated deployment descriptors went to the corresponding directory under build directory.
- The EJB jar file and web WAR file are generated to build/j2ee, then an EAR file is generated.
I got a build directory with a few descriptors in it but no src-gen directory.
I know this is a beginner level question but can anyone think back to when they tried these samples?

I am not sure about samples but you can try samples with setup explained in chapter 1 of my guide.

I have made changes in guide based on user feedback. Now it covers the following
-Basic setup of JBoss application server
-Setup of XDoclet
-First web application.
-First session bean.
-First CMP bean.
-First use of JMS as resource
-First MDB
-First Mail
You can download it from my home page

Good luck for Jboss learning.

Kiran, what page cannot be displayed? Also, you do realize that the thread you are posting to is 5-1/2 years old?

[Ananth sunraj]

Hello,
Page cannot be displayed.

Looks like Ananth and Kiran are talking about the Home page that Arun Sahni referred in his original post. This thread is more than 5 years old and i don't think the links referred in this thread are available anymore. Closing this topic.
