JBoss 6 support

New Member Posts: 11 Join Date: 3/21/10 Recent Posts

I tried running Liferay CE 6.0.5 on the recently released JBoss 6 final version but I get a heap of errors I think that relates to incompatible dependency libraries.

JBoss 6 is JEE 6 compliant and there is a lot of great new stuff introduced in JEE 6 and it would be really great if Liferay 6 - the leading open source portal platform can work with JBoss 6 - the leading open source application server.

Any plans / roadmap when a JBoss 6 bundle will be available?

Cheers
Travis

No concrete plans yet. However, we have run Liferay 5.2.3 with JBoss 6 M1 and that experience may help you to get it running on the final version.

Thanks James for the reply and link.

Yes, I tried all that and not working.

I get a bunch of errors that all seem to point to

java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: Implementing class

I think some of the supplied jars in the Liferay download such as compass.jar might need to be built by compiling with the latest Java compiler or maybe we will to use the latest of those jar files.

Will do a bit more digging. If anyone thinks I am on the wrong path let me know.

Cheers

Not sure whether this is going to be applicable to you, but from long time ago we have started separating JBoss and Liferay servers (by JVM and/or separate servers), using Liferay as a rendering engine and JBoss for business function processing. This keeps them fairly independent but well connected.

Thanks Victor for the reply. Yes that is also an option which maybe I need to take but wanted to have all working on one app server at least for development so that I run one less app server. Anyway maybe I can run the Liferay portal part via Tomcat and run JBoss for the backend EJB stuff.

But at sometime you will need Liferay working on JBoss 6. I guess that might not happen in the near future.

Cheers

I've also tried using 6.0.5 with JBoss 6 and got errors. As you mentioned, I think it has to do with getting the most recent version of third party jar files. I tried updating them and building from the source code but found some liferay6 functionalities are imcompatible. Seems a little bit of work is required to get it working.

Another point that I do not understand even with Liferay on JBoss 5 was why can't we just deploy the liferay portal war into the deploy folder without having to delete everything under ROOT.war. Wonder if the Liferay team will address this when they make Liferay work with JBoss 6

I think it's mainly because Liferay war is actually being made for Tomcat.

Seyed,

I think we just have to wait or have someone do the "dirty" work. I think it's the jar files and JEE 6 compliance that's causing the problem. I took a bite of it but after two days and two nights my due time for the experiment unfortunately ended.

Any update on this I am also facing the same issue while trying to deploy liferay-portal-6.0.6-20110225.war on JBOSS 6.0.0.

I rather see JBoss 7 support now that it's out. Forget about JBoss 6. I think most of us are skipping 6 and just going to 7. emoticon

Thanks for prompt reply Hitoshi. I will surely try it on JBOSS AS 7. However I couldn't find any steps/guideline for it and also notice people are facing issues with deployment on JBOSS AS 7.

Unfortunately, I don't think Liferay works with JBoss 7. Liferay is in a process of getting 6.1 out, and I'm personally giving JBoss 7 a little bit more time to stable out.
Nevertheless, I think most users are beginning to test using JBoss 7 (JBoss 6 was a little bit like Vista?) and I think it should be on a to do list.

I'm getting into another assignment so I may not have too much time unless the assignment calls on using JBoss 7.
