Ken,

I'm making some educated guesses here, so I hope they work. As you've guessed, it looks like a problem with the version of Java - it is throwing the errors on 1.5 specific features. I have managed to reproduce the problem using a 1.4 compiler.

You have a 1.5 JRE installed so it should work, but I've never tried it with the JRE - I always use the full JDK.

I suggest two things:

(1) In Eclipse, go into Windows, Preferences, Java, Installed JREs and make sure the 1.5 version is checked. When you install a new JRE/JDK, Eclipse doesn't automatically select the new one.

(2) Download a copy of the full JDK and install that. I suggest "J2SE(TM) Development Kit 5.0 Update 6" from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. We have had problems in the past running JBOSS with the JRE and so we only use the JDK. Even if get LAMS to build with the JRE, it may not run.

Let me know if it still won't build after this. You will still get lots of deprecation errors but it should build successfully.

Thanks. Changing from the JRE to the JDK fixed that problem.

I think I correctly followed the instructions in

http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lams/Building+LAMS

and when I started JBOSS with

jboss-4.0.2\bin\run.bat

It seems to start up just fine.

Now for the probably stupid question:

How do I start Dolly after having done all this?

Not a stupid question. Silly of me to forget the most obvious bit of information - the URL.

The short answer is your question is probably http://localhost:8080/lams and login as test1/test1.

For a better answer have another look at the Building LAMS page. I have just updated it to include more details under "Property Files and lams.xml Configuration" and "Start JBOSS".

The part about the lams.xml file is very important and most remiss of me to miss earlier - all the settings in there work for our current development team so I tend to forget all about the file until something goes wrong.

Seriously - thanks for finding the shortcomings in our documentation. I appreciate your patience in working through this process.

If you have a look at the logs and find LAMS isn't starting up correctly, please post the lams.log and the server.log.

Regards,

Fiona
