setting up JBoss5 with MyEclipse

Question

Hello,

I have been using Weblogic as my company used it. Now I want to try JBoss as an alternative. I'm using Eclipse with MyEclipse 7.1 plugin. I downloaded and unzipped JBoss 5.0.1GA with Java JDK 1.5.0.14. I set the server up using MyEclipse interface and got the following error (couldn't find solution elsewhere online):

10:42:54,240 INFO  [TransactionManagerService] Initializing recovery manager

Any ideas what is wrong in here?

Thanks,

Answer 1

My first guess is that the server is trying to use a port that is alredy in use.

Do you have any other web servers installed? I know some have services that start up automatically.

To check for this on a windows box I usually reboot and the very first program I start up is the web server so it locks any ports it needs.
