Unable to start application server

[Beta User]

I'am not able to start an out-of-the-box version of the application server.
What do I miss?

environment:
- Windows XP, SP2
- Java 6 (version 1.6.0-05)

I perform the following steps:
1) extract springsource-ap-1.0.0.beta3.zip
2) extract springsource-ap-epl-1.0.0.beta3.zip
3) define environment variable 'PLATFORM_HOME'
4) cd %PLATFORM_HOME%
5) binstartup.bat
5) the program almost immidiate stops. The file 'serviceability race race.log' contains:

I have exactly the same environment but I found a different error in my logs

Hi Mark,

That NoSuchMethodError suggests that the Platform is somehow picking up an old version of Spring as it was added in 2.1.

Probably the easiest way to diagnose this is to enable verbose classloading to determine from where AntPathMatcher is being loaded:

> set JAVA_OPTS=-verbose:class
> startup.bat > classloads.txt

This will produce a *lot* of output so it would probably be best to redirect it to a file. Searching it for AntPathMatcher should hopefully tell us from where it's being loaded and help to narrow down the problem.

Thanks,
Andy

This should no longer occur on beta4.

Can you please try out beta4 and let me know if that solves your problem?

Thanks,

Sam

That
> set JAVA_OPTS=-verbose:class
> startup.bat > classloads.txt

helped me a lot. I had some manually added .jars files in the lib/ext of the java jre. Removing these helped and gave me the expected behavior.
