Mike, Please post the entire console logs including the exception stacktrace. Also which version of JDK are you using? And did you download the JDK6 version of the JBossAS or is it the JDK5 version? While posting logs or code or xml content, remember to wrap it in a code block by using the Code button in the message editor window. And please hit the Priview button before posting, to ensure that the post is formatted correctly. P.S: There is a dedicated forum for AS5 issues http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4194955#...
