FreeBSD Port: jboss-3.0.0_2

[Rogers, Ray]

Hi,

I have a couple of questions/observations that I would like to convey/ask.

I have just completed the upgrade from version 3.0.0 to 3.0.0_2.   

Upon my original installation, 3.0.0, JSP compilation did not work because $JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar is not in the classpath environment.  It works if you use the $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.sh script as root.  I modified the daemonctl_.c file to force the command to conform to  the command executed by the run.sh script.  This included removing the "-jar" option and adding the tools.jar to the classpath and adding the program_name property.  

Anyway, I did my original install on FreeBSD 4.7.  I recently upgraded the OS to 4.8 and used portupgrade to bring the applications up to date.  I ran into the same problem and had to reapply the fix, albeit more difficult because portupgrade cleaned up after the install..  Please check and correct as necessary.  Remember: JBoss runs fine it just cannot compile JSPs due to the absent tools.jar file.

Now, in the process I noticed that my Jetty files are going into /var using the modified jboss3ctl.  Prior to the upgrade they were going into /var/tmp.  can you shed any light on why this is happening and or how to change it back to /var/tmp.  I have laid out the file system anticipating that it will use /var/tmp.  Yes, I know how to get around the space problem, but I am trying to do the "right" thing.

If there is a better way to communicate with you let me know.  I am on about 5 of the core mailing lists, but I did not see pertinent lists for this feedback and since the tomcat daemonctl code is used to wrap execution, I do not believe that JBOSS.org would be interested.


Thanks,

Ray
