JBoss 5.1 - Webtop 65SP3 - Deployment error

Hi Experts,

I am trying to deploy Webtop 6.5 SP3 (vanilla) on JBoss (jboss eap 5.1.0) server. I tried below steps and the deployment doesn't seem to be working.

1. Edit dfc.properties in Webtop.war to define dcobroker and global repository settings
2. Copy webtop.war under C:\Program Files\EnterprisePlatform-5.1.0\jboss-eap-5.1\jboss-as\server\default\deploy folder
3. Edit C:\Program Files\EnterprisePlatform-5.1.0\jboss-eap-5.1\jboss-as\server\default\deployers\jbossweb.deployer\web.xml to disable JSP pooling.
4. Execute the command "run.bat -c default" at C:\Program Files\EnterprisePlatform-5.1.0\jboss-eap-5.1\jboss-as\bin to start the application

After about 5 minutes an error message (given at bottom) gets printed on the console. Finally the server gets started but when I try to access Webtop through IE, it doesn't open.

Could anyone let me know whats causing this error and what I need to do to fix the error?

If you read the webtop release notes, only jboss eap 4.3.0 is officially supported. Newer version may not work.

Also, please move this thread one to the Documentum Developer Network. Select "Move discussion" from the Actions menu and choose the appropriate forum, as described in the Guidelines. EMC is trying to have technical questions posted there:

Hi,

as already said, it is not supported. But if you want to try it anyways, I would check classpath for dfc.properties. Maybe try:

http://davidbuccola.blogspot.com/2010/09/diagnosing-dfc-configuration-problems.html

I opened a case with EMC regarding this. They say JBOSS EAP 4.3.0 is the highest noted compatible version for Webtop through 6.5SP2 to 6.6.

So, it is not whetehr JBoSS EAP 5.1 is a stable vesion. OBVIOUSLY EMC will give us tough time during support if we go for 5.1

Also, I tried the "diagnosing-dfc-configuration" option. The server is correctly picking the dfc.propeties file from Webtop.war. The same dfc.properties file works fine when I deploy Webtop on Tomcat & Weblogic.

OBVIOUSLY EMC will give us tough time during support if we go for 5.1

Of course they will and they should. what would be the point of specifying the versions supported in the release notes if you're not going to follow that ? also, there are some many different versions of different software out there, how could they perform a full battery of tests and quality certifications for their whole range of products for each and every product they have. As a software developer, I do agree with them, as, I'd expect, any software company would.

Try to get support for MS Office 97 on Windows 7, you'll see what gives

Francois Dauberlieu

Totally Agree. Ideal way is to implement what is supported by the vendor.

JBoss 5.1 is not a EMC supported platform for Webtop 6.5 SP3

Gagan_Dreamer

Hi NagSyam,

I am facing similar concerns with Webtop/DA 6.7. Although that is supported by EMC in JBoss 5.1.0.

Any suggestions.

Regards,

Gagan
