JBoss 4.2.3 having problems on startup

[Rob Saul]

Starting JBoss 4.2.3 on my Snow Leopard system results in the following problem :

I works fine an a Linux system (JDK 1.6 as well).

Any hints?

[Jaikiran Pai]

Those are just debug messages. I don't see any ERROR. What exact problem are you seeing?

[Rob Saul]

Thought the failure to create the xmbean might have been relevant. Guess not.

Here is the first actual error :

    

21:17:09,971 INFO  [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/, warUrl=.../deploy/jboss-web.deployer/ROOT.war/
21:17:10,314 ERROR [[/]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.web.jsf.integration.config.JBossJSFConfigureListener

	at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.init(StandardContext.java:5312)
       .....

That's the top of a very long trace.

A few lines above this was this message :

  
AprLifecycleListener] The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: .:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

That looked more like a 'don't expect optimal performance' type informative message. I note that MacPorts lists "tomcat-native", but
I don't know if this will be of any help with the error.


Thanks for your time.
