JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

I am trying to run JBoss from the command prompt with the standalone.bat file. It starts the startup process but then just sits there. I couldn't really find any answers with Goolgle or on here.

Here is the output from my command line:

C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>standalone  Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"  ===============================================================================    JBoss Bootstrap Environment    JBOSS_HOME: C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final    JAVA: C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\java    JAVA_OPTS: -XX:+TieredCompilation -Dprogram.name=standalone.bat -Xms64M -Xmx51  2M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.se  rver.gcInterval=3600000 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dorg.jboss.resolver.war  ning=true -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=org.jboss.byteman -Djboss.server.default.c  onfig=standalone.xml    ===============================================================================    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=256M; sup  port was removed in 8.0  16:06:41,708 INFO  [org.jboss.modules] JBoss Modules version 1.1.1.GA  16:06:42,009 INFO  [org.jboss.msc] JBoss MSC version 1.0.2.GA  16:06:42,075 INFO  [org.jboss.as] JBAS015899: JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final "Brontes" sta  rting  

And it just sits right here. Any ideas of why it doesn't finish starting up?

This is added info... I took Omoro's suggestion and went back to Java 7. That got JBoss to not "hang" anymore at the command line. Now when I run standalone.bat it says

Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

and then just goes back to the command prompt without starting JBoss. I will open a new thread since the old problem has been cured and now a new problem has arisen.

Thanks for everyone's help especially Omoro.

This is a known issue. See more discussion at:

https://community.jboss.org/message/808212

Quoting from the thread:

Yes it is normal.

There have been some changes in JDK8 that prevent AS7 and current version of EAP6 to start under JDK8. We have many JDK8 related fixes in WildFly so I would recommend you to use that.

As for EAP goes, the start up on JDK8 is fixed in upcoming 6.2 release.

Answer by Sanne for JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

Use WildFly 8, works like a charm even with Java8.

Remember JBossAS changed name to WildFly for its community line.

Answer by Prashant for JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

I faced the same issue when starting JBoss 7 with Java version 8. All you need to do is change to Java version 7 or 6 and then try to start JBoss again. For ubuntu user use following command to change default Java JDK version:

sudo update-alternatives --config java   

This will give you a list output similar to this:

There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing          /usr/bin/java).     Selection    Path                                               Priority   Status    ------------------------------------------------------------        0            /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle/jre/bin/java         1070          auto mode    1            /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java   1051          manual mode  * 2            /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java   1069          manual mode  Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:   

Select proper option and this will change default Java JDK version.

To verify type:

$java -version  

Answer by Daniel Vilas-Boas for JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

If you really need to work with JBoss7.1, downgrade your java version from 1.8 to 1.7 or 1.6. (To check your current java version type java -version in command line). Otherwise, you can change your application server to Wildfly as stated in previous answers.

Answer by vinay for JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

Solution : This Issue comes when Java jdk1.8.0_40 is installed in your system and the same is mapped in JAVA_HOME system variable . This issue can be sorted out by installing Java 7 with its jdk jdk1.7.0_79 and mapping the same in JAVA_HOME as C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_79 . The JBOSS server will start successfully .

Answer by Dulla De Cozta for JBoss seems to hang on startup at the command line

I too came across this issue. Firstly I downgraded to JDK 1.7 and it happened to work smoothly but as I wanted to work on JDK 1.8, I downloaded WildFly 10 former JBossAS.

It works smoothly without any compatibility issues.
