Hi there! We are running a JBoss 4.2.3.GA, MySQL version 5.0.67-0ubuntu6, Ubuntu server 8 and Java 1.6.0. We have developed a Seam 2.1.1 project on Windows by using Eclipse Europa and the JBossTools and everything works fine, since we are able to use Eclipse to publish to JBoss 4.2.3 and to run the app. Now we are trying to publish the web application on Linux by copying the deployed ear directory and the datasouce from the Jboss running on Windows (this approach works fine on Windows). Unfortunately the deployment fails as you can see below. The same deployment works in Windows XP with the same configuration. I've tested the MySQL datasource by using a jsp which looks up at the datasource on Linux and I'am able to read the database metadata. So I' don't know why the deployment fails. On startup the server says that: | 15:12:58,220 INFO [ConnectionFactoryBindingService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=ConnectionFactoryBinding,name=JmsXA' to JNDI name 'java:JmsXA' |
