alfresco 2.1.0R1,jboss 4.2.0 and jboss portal 2.6:Possible ?

[deas0815]

Hallo everybody,

I've been trying to get alfreso working with several more or less recent versions
of jboss and jboss portal, but I was always running into problems. (I am aware of
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Server_Installation but there were always problems remaining).

My latest try was jboss 4.2.0, jboss-portal 2.6 and alfresco  2.1.0R1.

The problems I have run into where related to hibernate and JSF/Myfaces, mostly

- org.hibernate.<somthing> javaassist proxies baling out they cannot find their super
interface org.alfresco.<something>

(I've tryied copying javaassist.jar to alfresco/WEB-INF/lib, but the problem remained.
Besides, it seems it is not really feasible to force hibernate to use cglib instead
as jboss sets the bytecode provider as a global System property).

- MyFaces/JSF classloading problems (org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL did not really help here)

Has anyone managed to get this combination working ?

If so, I would appreciate instructions how to get this up and running.

regards
Andreas

hi kevin.
Can you explain me (step by step)how to deploy alfresco 2.1 war with jboss 4.2.X?

[kevinr]

Follow the instructions here (except download and use JBoss4.2.X instead of JBoss4.0.5) http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Deploying_WAR_JBoss

but before starting the server (the last step) follow these additional instructions:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Install_On_Jboss_4.2.0

Thanks,

Kevin

I have added this in web.xml

<context-param>
<param-name>org.jboss.jbossfaces.WAR_BUNDLES_JSF_IMPL</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

Then I have modified hibernate property in
persistence.properties

- hibernate.bytecode.provider=cglib



but I have this error on deploy

Error configuring application listener of class org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener
