Yes, i was referring to the server.log file in jboss-4.2.1.GA\server\default\log\server.log. You don't have to post the entire file. Do you see anything specific related to the server shutting down after some time? As for the error while running from the command prompt, do this: - In the run.bat remove the "@echo off" command from the first line of the bat - From the command prompt run the run.bat file - If something fails, post the output here. While posting the logs or xml content or code, remember to wrap it in a code block using the Code button in the message editor window and please hit the Preview button to make sure your post is correctly formatted View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4177682#...
