[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-1891) Error when stopping JBoss

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-1891?page=comments#action_12405119 ] Gene Gretter commented on JBIDE-1891: ------------------------------------- The problem is related to 2. The Stop Timeout value is set to zero. I did remember setting this value to zero, so I started over with a fresh copy of Eclipse and new JBoss Tools plugin install. I found that the Start Timeout and Stop Timeout values both where set to 450. I then tried to start JBoss and received the error "Server JBoss 4.2 Server Failed to Start". I have seen this error before and found that setting Preferences -> Server: Server Timeout Delay to Unlimited solves the problem. After making this change I was able to start JBoss. I then tried to stop JBoss and received the error "Could not obtain connection to any of these urls: localhost:1099". I checked the Stop Timeout value and found it was now set to zero. Apparently, switch Server Timeout Delay has the side-effect of setting Start Timeout and Stop Timeout to zero. I changed Stop Timeout to 100 and then I was able to stop JBoss without receiving an error. Some observations: I am only able to start JBoss if Server Timeout Delay is set to Unlimited. The values Normal, Long, and Longer do not solve the start problem. The odd thing is that the start failure happens immediately so it does not really appear to be a timeout issue. It appears that the value of Server Timeout Delay determines the maximum value for Start Timeout and Stop Timeout. This relationship is not obvious. When Server Timeout Delay is set to Unlimited, the values displayed for Start Timeout and Stop Timeout is always zero. As I mentioned above, I set Stop Timeout to 100, but it is displayed as zero. If you switch Server Timeout Delay to another value, such as Longer, then the value 100 is displayed for Stop Timeout. There seems to be a few problems here: Unable to start JBoss using the default values for Server Timeout Delay, Start Timeout, and Stop Timeout. Changing Server Timeout Delay to Unlimited also changes Start Timeout and Stop Timeout to zero. When Server Timeout Delay is set to Unlimited, Start Timeout and Stop Timeout are always displayed as zero even though the effective value is greater than zero. Thanks for your help in diagnosing this problem. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
