Hello all.
I just finished rebuilding a fresh checkout of trunk and built it
starting with a blank m2 repo.
When I try to start the server, I get the following error (both on
tomcat and jetty):
Using GERONIMO_BASE: /opt/geronimo-jetty-j2ee-1.2-SNAPSHOT

Jay,
My problem is caused by my setting of JAVA_HOME/JRE_HOME. In my case,
$JRE_HOME/lib/ext was not a valid directory. Once I set JAVA_HOME/
JRE_HOME correctly, Geronimo starts fine.
Either 1) your JAVA_HOME/JRE_HOME is incorrect, or 2) the layout of
your JRE is not matching the expectations of geronimo.sh. Can you let
us know if you're setting JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME and the contents of
either $JRE_HOME/lib/ext or $JAVA_HOME/jre/iib/ext or $JAVA_HOME/lib/
ext (I think those are the possible permutations).
The reason why the exception is occurring is that an implementation
of HmacSHA1 can not be loaded. The failure to load HmacSHA1 is the
root cause of the problem. You aren't seeing this because an
exception is being caught. The exception processing is calling
assert. However, assertions are not enabled. We should consider
adding -enableassertions to geronimo.sh. If you "export JAVA_OPTS=-
enableassertions" before running geronimo.sh, you should see the
actual problem...
