Custom webservice from jboss 5.1 to jboss 6.3

Hi people!

We have a custom webservices which use DFC (they also use DFS) to connect with the repository. Now we have these WS deployed in a jboss EAP 5.1 and we use DFC 6.7. We are planning to move to a 7.2 environment and this include the migration from jboss 5.1 to 6.3.

In the new machine I have installed DFC 7.2 client and java 7, The problem is that when I deploy our custom webservices an exception is launched. It is the typical ClassNotFound exception, the class is DfException. It seems like it could not find the dfc.jar.

In our jboss 5.1 environment the dfc.jar was in the system classpath. Jboss 5.1 used the classpath and all worked fine.

But in this new environment jboss 6.3 doesn't use neither classpath nor jboss_classpath, so... How can I configure jboss in order to find the dfc.jar and dfc.properties?

Thanks!

there's probably a nicer/better way to do this, but have you tried copying DFC jars to jboss' lib folder and adding the parameter -Ddfc.properties.file="<path to your dfc.properties>" to jboss' jvm parameters?

Thanks for your fast answer!

Unfortunately the problem persists. I copied the dfc.jar file to \Documentum\jboss-eap-6.3\standalone\lib and in a second test to \Documentum\jboss-eap-6.3\standalone\lib\ext. I also modified the JVM configuration in standalone.conf file adding this line: JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Ddfc.properties.file=D:\Documentum\config\dfc.properties"

I read over the network something like in jboss 6.3 a xml called jboss-deployment-structure.xml should be use for refering to external modules but I don't find something enough clear for me (I'm not jboss expert, xD).

Thanks!!!

You'll need additional jars from the dfc/shared folder. You should modify jboss/bin/standalone.conf.bat with "SET JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Ddfc.properties.file=D:\Documentum\config\dfc.properties" (at least in 7.1 it looks like the file you could modify to be sure it works)

Hi again Alvaro,

Thanks for your help. It seems like the SET JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Ddfc.properties.file=D:\Documentum\config\dfc.properties" command has worked, thanks.

But the problem with the dfc.jar persists. I copìed all the files in dfc/shared file into the lib folder but in the jboss start the classnotfound exception appears again.

I tried to add a new line to the SET JAVA_OPTS referring to dfc.jar... set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Ddfc.properties.file=D:\Documentum\config\dfc.properties -Ddfc.jar.file=D:\Program~\Documentum\Shared\dfc.jar" (I expect ~ escapes de space character in "Program Files") but it doesn't work.

Thanks!!!
