Please tell me how o resolve this error ??

[Paul Sturrock]

You are running JBoss with the wrong version of the JDK.

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Thank you Paul for the response ,

You are running JBoss with the wrong version of the JDK.

So , how can we solve this error ?? Should i change JDK version or JBOSS version ?? , this will take a lot of time .

Changing the version of Java used by JBoss is just a matter of few seconds. Set JAVA_HOME to point to the correct JDK version installation.

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Thank you , this is what i am looking for .

One more question , i went to inside JBOSS bin directory and tried to edit the run.bat file :

But i am not sure where to modify the file , that means where to add JAVA_Home ,could you please help me .

if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" goto ADD_TOOLS

set JAVA=java

echo JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.
echo Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.
goto SKIP_TOOLS

:ADD_TOOLS

set JAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java

if exist "%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar" goto SKIP_TOOLS
echo Could not locate %JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar. Unexpected results may occur.
echo Make sure that JAVA_HOME points to a JDK and not a JRE.

[Jaikiran Pai]

You shouldn't be setting the JAVA_HOME in that run.bat script. Doing so is going to make it difficult to move that JBoss installation to a different system. Set the JAVA_HOME as an environment variable from the command prompt or your windows environment settings.

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Thank you very much , one more clarification .

Is setting JAVA_HOME inside environment varaibles is sufficient ??

OR

DO i need to chnage the Java Compiler Settings under Ecllipse IDE for this ??

[Ravi Kiran Va]

I change the JAVA_HOME settings under Environment variables but nothing working (same error),please tell me , do i need to change the JDK version used by the Server domain ??

Thanks .

[Peter Johnson]

Based on the text of the error message I suspect that you compiled your code using JDK 6 and then are trying to run it with JDK 5.

So when you set JAVA_HOME what did you set it to? (I assume you set JAVA_HOME on the machine running JBoss AS?)

On the machine running Eclipse, which JDK are you using? To find out, open a command prompt and enter "java -version". (Also check the eclipse.ini file, it's in the Eclipse installation directory, to see if you have a "-vm" entry. If so, look at the line after "-vm" - that is the JDK you are using.)

do i need to change the JDK version used by the Server domain ??

I don't understand this question.

[Ravi Kiran Va]

Thanks a lot for all the information , now i got some idea as why i am geetting this error


this is my eclipse.ini file

-showsplash
com.genuitec.myeclipse.product
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-Duser.language=en
-XX:PermSize=128M
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M


i didn't find the entry you mentioned , any issues on this .
