Trouble deploying Archiva 1.0 to JBoss 4.2.2.GA

[Leon Davis]

Hi I have been trying to deploy the latest version of
the Archiva war to JBoss version 4.2.2 without
success. Has anyone else been successful in deploying
the latest version of Archiva to JBoss?

I would really like to get this working and appreciate
any help anyone can offer!

I have seen the following wiki page that contains
instructions:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva+on+JBoss

In addition to this I have looked at:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva+on+Tomcat

What I have done:
1. I have added the following context.xml to the
META-INF directory of the Archiva war file:
<Context path="/archiva"
         docBase="/">

  <Resource name="jdbc/users"
            auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            username="sa"
            password=""
           
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
           
url="jdbc:derby:database/users;create=true" />

  <Resource name="jdbc/archiva"
            auth="Container"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            username="sa"
            password=""
           
driverClassName="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"
           
url="jdbc:derby:database/archiva;create=true" />

  <Resource name="mail/Session"
            auth="Container"
            type="javax.mail.Session"
            mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
</Context>

2. I have added a jboss-web.xml file to the WEB-INF
directory of the war: (as instructed on the wiki:
Although it feels as though there should be more
entries in this file as there are more resource-ref
entries made in the web.xml file?)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
 <resource-ref>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/users</res-ref-name>
   <jndi-name>java:/users</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
</jboss-web>

3. I made sure that the following entry appears in the
web.xml file:
<resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>jdbc/users</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>

This entry was already in web.xml along with the
following two other entries:
  <resource-ref>
     <res-ref-name>jdbc/archiva</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
     <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
  </resource-ref>
  <resource-ref>
     <res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
     <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
  </resource-ref>

4. I have coppied derby-10.1.3.1.jar,
derby-tools-10.1.3.1.jar and mail-1.4.jar in to
JBoss's default server's lib directory

5. I have added the following derby-ds.xml file to
JBoss's default server's deploy directory.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
  <local-tx-datasource>
     <!-- The jndi name of the DataSource, it is
prefixed with java:/ -->
     <!-- Datasources are not available outside the
virtual machine -->
     <jndi-name>users</jndi-name>
     <!-- for in-process persistent db, saved when
jboss stops. The
     org.jboss.jdbc.DerbyDatabase mbean is necessary
for properly db shutdown -->
   
<connection-url>jdbc:derby:database/archiva;create=true</connection-url>
     <!-- The driver class -->
   
<driver-class>org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</driver-class>
     <!-- The login and password -->
     <user-name>sa</user-name>
     <password></password>
     <!-- The minimum connections in a pool/sub-pool.
Pools are lazily constructed on first use -->
     <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
     <!-- The maximum connections in a pool/sub-pool
-->
     <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
     <!-- The time before an unused connection is
destroyed -->
     <idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes>
     <!-- Whether to check all statements are closed
when the connection is returned to the pool,
          this is a debugging feature that should be
turned off in production -->
     <track-statements/>
  </local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>

The wiki says to include settings for appserver.base
and appserver.home using the CATALINA_OPTS environment
variable but I am not sure where I should be
specifying this within the JBoss configuration? As a
result I do see exceptions when the \log\logfiles can
not be found.

So What happens when loading JBoss?:
On loading JBoss: I see the following:
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error during
deploy; - nested throwable:
(javax.naming.NamingException: resource-ref:
mail/Session has no valid JNDI binding. Check the
jboss-web/resource-ref.)

Followed by a very long stack trace.

The message mentions the resource-ref's in
jboss-web.xml and I have tried adding JNDI bindings
for both jdbc/archiva and mail/Session: (I am guessing
what these are supposed to be)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
 <resource-ref>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/users</res-ref-name>
   <jndi-name>java:/users</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
<resource-ref>
   <res-ref-name>jdbc/archiva</res-ref-name>
   <jndi-name>java:/archiva</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
 <resource-ref>
   <res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
   <jndi-name>java:/mail</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
</jboss-web>

On doing so I get:
20:00:19,531 INFO  [STDOUT] 2008-01-21 20:00:19,515
[main] ERROR
org.apache.commons.configuration.JNDIConfiguration  -
Could not dereference
objectjavax.naming.NamingException: Could not
dereference object [Root exception is
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: mail not bound]

Once again many thanks for any help you might be able
to give me.

Many thanks,
Leon Davis

I just had the same problem as you had and did not find a perfect solution
but at least archiva is running now.

What I did was basically following this wiki entry:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva+on+JBoss

Step 1) as described

Step 1a) is to restart JBoss to make it recognize the new driver.

Step 2) as described but adding an additional datasource:

  <local-tx-datasource>
     <jndi-name>archiva</jndi-name>
     <connection-url>jdbc:derby:database/archiva;create=true</connection-url>
     <driver-class>org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</driver-class>
     <user-name>sa</user-name>
     <password></password>
     <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>
     <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
     <idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes>
     <track-statements/>
  </local-tx-datasource>

Step 3) is not needed as the mentioned resource-ref is alread there.

Step 3a) is to comment this entry out from web.xml

  <!--
  <resource-ref>
     <res-ref-name>mail/Session</res-ref-name>
     <res-type>javax.mail.Session</res-type>
     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
     <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
  </resource-ref>
  -->

It would probably be better to configure this resource somehow but I don't
know how to do this. Any suggestions?

Step 4) as descibed with the addition to add the following:

  <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/archiva</res-ref-name>
    <jndi-name>java:/archiva</jndi-name>
  </resource-ref>

Step 5) and 6) as descibed.


Comments (especially about setp 3a) are very welcome!

hth,
- martin

Ok instead of commenting it out one can configure the java mail service for
tomcat. This is usually done by adapting the file
JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/mail-service.xml. Instructions can be
found here: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JavaMail

       ^----- not "for tomcat"! "for JBoss" would obviously be correct.

Hi folks,

I had to deploy archiva 1.2.1 in JBoss 4.0.5 (yeah, I know, old versions... but those are my requirements...) and this old thread and the wiki helped, but it wasn't a very concrete guide (I had to experiment some things by myself).

I wrote a more concise guide and published here:
http://penyaskitodice.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/archiva-1-2-1-sobre-jboss-as-4-0-5-en-windows-64/

It's written in Spanish but there isn't any literature there.

Hope this helps saving other's time.
