No, you have not set JAVA_HOME properly. See this line of the console output: JAVA: java If JAVA_HOME were set properly, this would print out: JAVA: /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/java Are you, by any chance, starting JBossAS as a service or using a different account to run it? If so, JAVA_HOME is not set properly for that account. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4161543#...
