JBoss server not starting after alfresco.war copied

[konsultex]

I have a problem on Fedora Core 4 with JDK 1.5.0_10 and JBoss 4.0.5. I have 2 application running in the /server/default configuration that are working without any problems so I can vouch for the server.  If I start the server with the alfresco war in /server/default/deploy nothing works

What I did is:
a) downloaded the community 1.4 war tgz (alfresco-community-war-1.4.0.tar.gz)
b) stopped Jboss
c) untarred the tgz and copied the alfresco.war to /server/default/deploy (where th other applications are)
d) donloaded the Mysql jdbc driver (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4.tar.gz)
e) copied the driver jar to /server/default/lib (where I already have the Oracle jdbc)
f) created the alfresco user in MySql using the db_setup.sql script
g) restarted Jboss

What happens is that when the alfresco.war gets deployed, the java process starts taking up 99.9% of cpu time and the server.log file grows by anout 1 gb per minute (many, many DEBUG messages). I found out about this because the first time I ran out of disk space on that volume after 10 minutes. Unfortunately the server log does not show anything obviously wrong and beiing so big is pretty hard to work with anyway. I shut down Jboss and manually kill the java process.

I thought of directing server.log to /dev/null to avoid the disk problem to see if it will eventually start but it seems that 10 minutes is too long to start Alfresco. So something else must be wrong with my configuration.

I loged into MySql with the alfresco login and saw that the tables were created.

Has anybody had this type of problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi

You need to changes the debug settings for Alfresco within JBoss.
The default is indeed to log all debug messages for eveything. This is too much. You ned to restrict this to just INFO and enable anything else individually.



In ….\server\default\conf\log4j.xml   you need to limit the debug … something like ….

…
   <!– ================ –>
   <!– Limit categories –>
   <!– ================ –>

   <!– Limit the org.apache category to INFO as its DEBUG is verbose –>
   <category name="org.apache">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
   </category>

   <!– Limit the org.jgroups category to WARN as its INFO is verbose –>
   <category name="org.jgroups">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>

   <!– Limit apache axis to INFO as its DEBUG is even more verbose –>
   <category name="org.jboss">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="net">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.hibernate">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.jboss.portal">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.jboss.portlet">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.alfresco">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.alfresco.repo.policy">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.alfresco.web">
      <priority value="DEBUG"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.springframework">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.apache.myfaces">
      <priority value="INFO"/>
   </category>
   
   <category name="org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html">
      <priority value="WARN"/>
   </category>

Ah, but then you run into the java.io.NotSerializableException with org.apache.myfaces.el.MethodBindingImpl do you not?

– and if you play around with the myfaces source to see if you can fix that you end up with:

java.io.NotSerializableException: org.alfresco.web.bean.repository.QNameNodeMap

(and i haven't had time to see how/if that can be sorted)

Any suggestions, and I may be able to make time…

[konsultex]

Thanks for the suggestions. Before going further, I want to point out that my JBoss does not have JBoss Portal installed. Could this be the reason for this strange behavior? If you confimr that I can run Alfresco without the portal them I think I should try to filter the log to see if I can detect the real problem.

Thanks.

[seanradford]

I wouldn't say that not having the portal installed within JBoss is the cause - however you do seem to need it installed even if you end up running Alfresco as a standard WebApp (from memory, it tries to use some of the portal API classes).

Just for you information…

I did get it up and running, with HSQLDB to start, in a JBoss Portal 2.6.0DR1 installation.

I started with the JBoss community edition and moved the approriate config files and war into place.  I, also, by trial-and-error and with the help of this forum, determine what changes I needed to make to the config files.  This included changing the dir.root, making sure that took (the default configuration does not read in the file with the dir.root declaration!), and turning off the DEBUG as noted in the forum.

I haven't done much testing yet.  I did log in and move around.

I'm excited to try and conceive of portal pages that have this portlet along with useful others.

I might also check if I can get this installation to operate against the content store and MySQL database of my earlier Tomcat edition install.  It is just test data, and I can back it up as desired before I try.

I can give the details of what I moved over and changed if folks are interested.  Let me know.

I'm also trying this.  I plan on using Liferay 4.2.  I can get liferay to deploy by itself, but when I try to deploy alfresco I see the following error:

[seanradford]

What version of the JBoss AS is JBoss Portal 2.6.0DR1 based upon? The NotSerializableException is a result of the versions of MyFaces and Tomcat (5.5) in JBoss AS 4.0.5 apparently.

[richmitc]

The jboss.log file says 4.0.4.GA.

Note, this is a DR - Developer Release.  It just happens to be what I was working with at the moment.

Also, mine is installed on Fedora Core 6.

Also, remember, I have only logged in and moved around.  Nothing significant yet.

All the best…

[seanradford]

Ah, I think that'll be the reason you have got yours working. I have an application that runs on 4.0.5 and want to get Alfresco running on that along-side it…
