I am having difficulty starting WL 8.1 (SP1).

Any attempt to start the server produces:

A configuration error occured during startup. Please verify the preference filed with the prompt: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
D:\j2sdk1/4/2\bin;D:\bea\weblogic81\bin;D:\bea\weblogic81\server\bin
-Dweblogic/RootDirectory=D:\bea\user_projects\domains\mydomain
-Dweblogic/Domain=mydomain -Dweblogic/Name=myserver
-Djava/security/policy=D:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib\weblogic/policy
-Dweblogic/management/discover=false
-Dweblogic/management/username=admin
-Dweblogic/management/password=weblogic
Exception in thread "main"

The error is a bit strange - it attempts to mention which property is incorrect, but give a stacktrace instead.

I use Eclipse 3.0.1 build 200409161125, MyEclipse 3.8.2, Window Professional 2000.

I did read the FAQs related to WL 8.1 installations and made sure that all the parameters are properly specified.

I also confirmed that Weblogic is installed correctly (at least it starts from command line and WL plugin). I tried to change the JDK to run it from my default (1.4.2_04) to the one supplied with WL 8.1, but without much success.

I would really appreciate if anybody can shed any light on this.

Thanks,
Sergei

Sergei,
Are you using the Eclipse 3.0.1 SDK install and not the JDT or Platform install?

Also can you compare your settings to this and make sure they are similar: http://www.myeclipseide.com/FAQ+index-myfaq-yes-id_cat-18.html

Riyad,

I did check the faq, and I made sure that all the parameters are specified.

I am not sure about your question regarding SDK/JDT. I did install Eclipse by downloading the Platform, and adding JDT later to that install.

Here's my Eclipse configuration (sorry for the lengthy post):

This is likely the problem... you need the entire "SDK" download, its ~85mb. Its not enough to use Platform or JDT installs.

I have the same problem and I have downloaded and installed the full SDK.
Passing some parameters to JVM, used to be in startWebLogic.cmd, now added them in MyEclipse's application server configuration (WebLogic 8.1).
Script startup runs without problems, clicking on a little running man produces an error:

A configuration error occured during startup. Please verify the preference field with the prompt: java.lang.NoClassDefError: (my_jvm_option)
Exception in thead "main".

What are your connector setting values?

Are you asking about settings in ra.xml?

Actually the weblogic connector settings, Window > Prefs > ME > App Servers> WebLogic 8

Sorry I don't see connector settings box.
There are :
BEA home directory
WebLogic Installation diresctory
Admin username
Admin password
Execution domain root
Execution domain name
Execution server name
Hostname PortNumber
Security policy file
JAAS login configuration file

For JDK, I'm running 1.4.2
(got that note about running JRE and startup exception)
in the optional VM arguments have a list of my params, startup chokes on setting the first one.

Launch - standalone, Debug mode

Paths - a set of my libraries, that I used to set in the script.

You mean you can't see the values IN these boxes? These settings are what I was curious about...

Sorry, got a bit confused.
We are working on providing an implementation to Sun's J2EE Connector spec, so I was thinking how does that relate?

Here are the values:

BEA home directory - C:\dev\bea
WebLogic Installation diresctory - C:\dev\bea\weblogic81
Admin username - weblogic
Admin password - *****
Execution domain root - C:\Dev\bea\user_projects\domains
Execution domain name - TEST
Execution server name - myserver
Hostname PortNumber localhost:7001
Security policy file - C:\Dev\bea\weblogic81\server\lib\weblogic.policy
JAAS login configuration file - empty

Domain root setting is incorrect, it should point to a directory under c:\dev\bea\user_projects\domains, most probably c:\dev\bea\user_projects\domains\TEST

The others are correct.

Robert

Changed that, but didn't fix the problem.

Somehow I think it has to do with WebLogic and MyEclipse using different VMs, I set WebLogic to use jdk1.4.2 and MyEclipse I think is using JRE1.4.1.
Could that be the case, how do I "remap" MyEclipse or Eclipse for that matter to a different JDK/JRE ?

All help/suggestions are most appreciated, thanks!

Use the -vm command line argument to point to your VM of choice:

Code:

eclipse.exe -vm c:\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe

Something like that.

Changed it JDK 1.4.2, problem is still there.

Any tips on tracing the problem to a particular code/routine?

I really need to debug my code, but without autolaunch can't do it (at least don't know how).
