Alfresco.war in JBoss 4.0.5 + Portal 2.4

[bruno_borges]

I tried the obvious:

- Extract jboss-4.0.5GA.tar.gz
- Extract jboss-portal-2.4.sar into default/deploy
- Configured PortalDS/Database correctly
- Started JBoss

Ok, JBoss Portal 2.4 running fine…

Now, I copied alfresco.war (standalone, not the one from jboss bundle) to default/deploy, and it simply does not work… lots of errors, ClassCastException, ClassNotFound, etc, etc…

Does anybody succeed deploying Alfresco 1.4 manually to JBoss 4.0.5 (or even 4.0.4) with JBoss Portal 2.4 (or maybe 2.6) ?

These are the last lines, then JBoss freezes its starting up process (no more new messages in log files) and CPU loading goes HIGH…

i am having very similar trouble, I tried the obvious and followed the instructions to no avial, I want to run alfresco and liferay off of JBOSS AS. So any help in this area would be appreciated, hope someone smart knows what to do.

I finally ran Alfresco 1.4 with JBoss 4.0.5 and JBossPortal 2.4.

Two main changes were necessary:
1) Override myfaces* from Alfresco into jbossweb*/jsf-libs

2) Override log4j xml from alfresco-jboss-bundle into jboss-4.0.5 default install

3) Removed some conflicting jars from alfresco.war/WEB-INF/lib like jta.jar, jboss*.jar (becareful: do *NOT* delete all jboss*.jars, some of them are needed)

Other things I couldn't achieve:
1) Configure Alfresco to access Database over some JBoss datasource
2) Configure Alfresco to use JtaTransactionManager

I think that we need a standalone Alfresco.war ready for JBoss 4.x, not that one from jboss-bundle as it comes with jboss 4.0.3 and even sometimes we need to run it on jboss 4.0.<something newer> or even, some customized JBoss.
