[ BUILD # : 200510061800 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_05 ] Installed JBoss 4.0.3 and the minimal configuration doesn't contain the deploy directory that seems to be relevant for the Add Server instance process. 1/ Runtime->Servers->Add Server... 2/ Choose JBoss Application Server 4.0 3/ Available domains don't contain 'minimal' entry
-> jboss
I am not able to reproduce it. I can add minimal instance of JBoss and also i can run it. I used same configuration like reporter. I just untar the Jboss instead of using the installer.
Mark as invalid cause it is not a defect. If you install jboss4 via installer only one domain will be installed (it can be named how you want) and due to the netbeans shows to you only this domain. If you do not use the jboss4 installer and download the tar archive there will be 3 domains (all, default and minimal) and netbeans shows to you these 3.
Tried it again and it doesn't work. Probably lack of enough information on the issue is THE issue. Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200510131600) Java = 1.5.0_05 Steps to reproduce: 1. Runtime->Servers->Add Server... 2. Select JBoss Application Server 4.0->Next 3. Enter installation location (it has to point to 4.0.3 binary installation)->Next 4. Under Domain: drop-down list, the 'minimal' domain is missing.
Please provide type of JBoss installation (.jar or archive only) and installation steps, especially if you installed with installation wizard. Also look at the installation directory whether the installed domain is not missing. Thank you.
JBoss installation is from the archive (zip) file. There're 4 domains in the server directory: three created by default and one is mine. Only minimal that's part of the default distro is not listed in the drop-down list of available domains.
Interesting. I looked at the source code. NB is looking for the directories in the <installation dir provided by user>/server. Each directory is checked with the following rules: 1. must be readable by user running NB 2. must have following children: - directories: conf, deploy, lib - files: conf/jboss-service.xml, lib/jboss-management.jar If you have all these requirements fulfilled then the domain is shown in the wizard's combobox. Could you please check it?
I should have told you this before we started the conversation: I'd noticed that minimal came with *no* deploy directory. Probably it is the reason why it doesn't show up in the available domains list. I wonder whether it's a bug or not. It depends on the capabilities of JBossDeployer and how NetBeans serverplugins works with it. The jboss-service.xml includes MainDeployer service that requires deploy directory to run, but...Does NetBeans deploy J2EE modules by copying it into the deploy directory or hands over the deployment to it via JMX?
1. deploy directory is (although empty) included in the JBoss 4.0.3+ versions (I downloaded archives for 4.0.3 and 4.0.3 SP1 versions) -> closing as invalid 2. you are right, if deploy directory is missing then minimal domain is not available in the wizard 3. JB plugin in NetBeans uses deploy directory to copy the built archive into it and waits until JBoss recognizes the archive and deploys it. The problem (or rather feature) is that minimal configuration starts only the management services (RMI/1098 and JNP/1099 ports), not deployment service or web server. You can verify it by running http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
