Oh I did not think of looking here before. There are lot of events in the EventLog in JBoss server view, surprisingly they do not show in the log file. They all are JMXExceptions: Message in the first JMXException: ====================== "Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099 and discovery failed with error: javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive times out [Root exception]" Then there about 20 more JMXException with the message: ====================================== "jmx not bound" All the above messages have yellow exclamation icon, but the last one has red-cross icon. The last message reads: ================ "Failure: Security Exception: Failed to authenticate principal=,securityDomain=jms-console" The behavior is same for default, all and production configurations, except that all gave another exception that showed up on the console and log file, but that's because deploy-hasingleton directory was missing. regards kapil View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4121106#...
