Re: [Wrapper-user] JWS and Geronimo

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Mehul,
    The best place to look for the cause is your wrapper.log file.  In 
most cases, the
problem is pretty obvious.  I am not able to make many guesses without 
seeing your
geronimo.conf file. (It wasn't attached).

    If the application is working correctly in console mode, but failing 
as a service, the
cause is most likely an environment problem.  The most common causes are 
due to
differences in the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables.  When running
as a console, you will be running as the user you are logged in as.  
When running as
a service however, you will be running as the SYSTEM user by default.

    If you set wrapper.debug=true in your conf file, you will get even 
more detailed info
in your wrapper.log file.

Cheers,
Leif
