Alfresco with JBoss from scratch

[rsfeir]

I have a bizarre error with alfresco setup from scratch.  What I mean is that I downloaded JBoss Portal bundle with the server for version 2.1 RC 1, started that and all was OK.  I dropped in the alfresco.war and I got the first time the missing mysql driver, so I fixed that by dropping it into the deploy/lib dir.  Then I started again and got the error below, and can't for the life of me figure out why this is.  If I download the alfresco jboss package from alfresco and run everything is OK.

Glad by your attention kevinr,
Actually, it doesn't work yet….
I did what you said, and set up the JBOSS_HOME variable to /usr/lib/jobss4. Ran "ant build-jboss" into the /alfresco-src/common. Took the alfresco.war (27.9Mb) and placed it in …/deploy, besides the others instructions in the messages above.
(I have the same /opt/alfresco/jboss/server/default/conf/alfresco structure files in /usr/lib/jboss4/server/default/conf/alfresco)
(…linux debian, and postgresql, I placed the postgre driver into the lib directory and did other hibernate configurations, it is working on jboss portal 2…)
(I am starting jboss with "./alfresco.sh start" in the  /usr/lib/jboss4/server/default/conf/alfresco. It is the content of it:

#!/bin/sh
# Start or stop Alfresco server
# Set the following to where JBoss is installed
APPSERVER=/usr/lib/jboss4
#
if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
  "$APPSERVER"/bin/run.sh
  if [ -r ./start_oo.sh ]; then
    sh ./start_oo.sh
  fi
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then
  "$APPSERVER"/bin/shutdown.sh -S
  if [ -r ./start_oo.sh ]; then
    killall soffice.bin
  fi
fi

.

Here one error, may be relevant, I encountered in the log before the piece I sent previously:

16:31:33,666 INFO  [ValidatorPlugIn] Loading validation rules file from '/WEB-INF/validation.xml'
16:31:33,917 ERROR [Digester] Parse Error at line 45 column 15: The content of element type "formset" is incomplete, it must match "(constant*,form+)".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "formset" is incomplete, it must match "(constant*,form+)".

Don't know if it reffers to the alfresco.war, I didn't find the validation.xml file.

We don't have a validation.xml file, so as a test can you remove any other deployed packages to make sure they are not causing any conflicts with Alfresco (i wouldn't have thought that would be the problem, but I'm not 100% sure). Otherwise I'm not sure why it doesn't work, as I tested the instructions I sent and it was ok on a fresh install of Jboss4.0.2 on Windows, but I haven't tested it as a fresh install on a Linux box, i'll see if i can do that tommorow.

Thanks,

Kevin

I took off the other deployed packages, it still not working, thanks. I am waiting for your help tomorrow.
Cheers

[hsp]

Kevinr, have you already managed the solution?
Regards
Helio.

[kevinr]

My appologies unfortuntely i did not have any time to look at this on a Linux box today, I will do so when I get some time and let you know.

Are there any other users of Alfresco who can try the instructions and let us know if they work for them…?

Thanks!

Kevin

[hsp]

I'm afraid the solution will not appear in time for my decision.
Guess there is not user with Alfresco working in this configuration, what a shame…. I hope I'm wrong.
I'm still waiting for some help more.
Thanks in advance for the contributors.

[hsp]

Kevinr;
May be it was my fault.

I reinstalled the ant tool and rebuid the war.

so, now it is ok.
TKS
Helio.

[kevinr]

No problem, glad to hear it's working!

Sounds weird, but, after I made it to run in jboss4 (ok) I tried to build the nightly release, then I replaced the war and errors occurred. So I placed the war that have been worked again, but it didn't.
I rebuild it with ant at least three times more, then it ran.
I think it is unstable, I don't know if it's ant fault or whatever.
In the last sucessfull load of Alfresco with nightly source, happened an error when I tryed to login (some times work, some times get error) different from admin:

Login only works with admin user in nightly release (20060118).
I don't know why the source stable is not working now.
What could it be happening?
