I updated to the latest source, built, and ran the server. I had also deleted the thirdparty directory and allowed all of the dependencies to re-downloaded. Everything ran correctly. I wanted to run the profile service, so I followed the instructions in: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=99122 When I booted the server again, I saw the following exception appear a number of times. 12:11:18,535 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Instantiated: name=JAXWSDeployerEJB3 state=Described java.lang.ClassFormatError: Failed to load dyn class: AOPContainerProxy$22 ... snip ... Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Unexpected error during load of: AOPContainerProxy$22, msg=class AOPContainerProxy$22 overrides final method . I was unable to get to the welcome page at the root context. Any ideas? Thanks - J View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4017751#...
