The jboss-service.xml looks fine to me. But the logs that you posted are strange. anonymous wrote : | 12:03:53,388 INFO [Server] Starting JBoss (MX MicroKernel)... | 12:03:53,389 INFO [Server] Release ID: JBoss [Zion] 4.0.4.GA (build: CVSTag=JBoss_4_0_4_GA date=200605151000) | 12:03:53,390 INFO [Server] Home Dir: /home/encore/jboss-4.0.4.GA | 12:03:53,391 INFO [Server] Home URL: file:/home/encore/jboss-4.0.4.GA/ | 12:03:53,391 INFO [Server] Patch URL: null | 12:03:53,392 INFO [Server] Server Name: default | 12:03:53,392 INFO [Server] Server Home Dir: /home/encore/jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default | 12:03:53,392 INFO [Server] Server Home URL: file:/home/encore/jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default/ | 12:03:53,392 INFO [Server] Server Log Dir: /home/encore/jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default/log | 12:03:53,392 INFO [Server] Server Temp Dir: /home/encore/jboss-4.0.4.GA/server/default/tmp | 12:03:53,393 INFO [Server] Root Deployment Filename: jboss-service.xml | 12:03:53,868 INFO [ServerInfo] Java version: 1.5.0_15,Sun Microsystems Inc. | 12:03:53,868 INFO [ServerInfo] Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_15-b04,Sun Microsystems Inc. | 12:03:53,868 INFO [ServerInfo] OS-System: Linux 2.6.22-14-generic,i386 | 12:03:54,729 INFO [Server] Core system initialized | 12:04:06,092 INFO [WebService] Using RMI server codebase: http://encore-portatil:8083/ | 12:04:06,114 INFO [Log4jService$URLWatchTimerTask] Configuring from URL: resource:log4j.xml | 12:04:06,545 INFO [NamingService] JNDI bootstrap JNP=/0.0.0.0:1099, RMI=/0.0.0.0:1098, backlog=50, no client SocketFactory, Server SocketFactory=class org.jboss.net.sockets.DefaultSocketFactory | 12:04:10,424 INFO [MailService] Mail Service bound to java:/Mail | 12:04:10,656 INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view META-INF/ra.xml in .../deploy/jboss-ha-local-jdbc.rar | 12:04:10,692 INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view META-INF/ra.xml in .../deploy/jboss-ha-xa-jdbc.rar | 12:04:10,762 INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view META-INF/ra.xml in .../deploy/jboss-local-jdbc.rar | 12:04:10,807 INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view META-INF/ra.xml in .../deploy/jboss-xa-jdbc.rar | 12:04:10,870 INFO [RARDeployment] Required license terms exist, view META-INF/ra.xml in .../deploy/mail-ra.rar I would expect a lot other services to be deployed (like the jbossweb) before those rar files are deployed.
