JBoss Server - can latest version be used?

[Former Community Member]

I wanted to clarify, which version of JBoss can be used? I am walking through my first installation using the Manual deployment option and got a little confused on page 26 where it refers to replacing the dom4j.jar file, but it says the file used with JBoss 3.2.5. I downloaded the latest JBoss server download, which is version 4.0.3SP1. So can I use JBoss version 4.0.3SP1 and if so, do I still need to replace the dom4j.jar file? Or would it just be easier to use JBoss 3.2.5?



Thank you,

Jennifer

Use JBoss 3.2.5.

Actually, the easiest thing to do is the turnkey install. This will install JBoss 3.2.5 with all the right patches - much easier.

You can then re-run the install later using the manual option, it's much easier, because you already have JBoss installed and ready to go.

Hi Jennifer -



Howard is right, use Joss 3.2.5. Jboss4 will not work.



Have fun!

Thank you all,



I am new to JBoss and am really struggling with it for some reason (I'm a previous MS.Net junkie). I think I will go as suggested and just do the turnkey option. Didn't realize I could go manual later, just in case I needed to!



Thanks again,

Also, be sure and use the older version of Java, version 1.4.2_08. Even 1.4.2_10 can cause problems on some installations.

Hello Clifton,



Thanks. I FINALLY got everything installed (phew! - although I can't seem to access the BAM server, but that's another issue).



I did use 1.4.2_11, so far I think everything seems ok, but we will see....



Thanks

I have installed it as well, but when I want to use this
drug addiction treatment center site, everything is blocking and I have to reboot the system. Do you know why?
