This may well be documented somewhere, but I haven't has yet seen it. I just downloaded JBOSS 4.2.1 and am looking at it. Well, it's cheaper than WAS! It keeps its configuration files in XML format. Now, usually XML is "plain text" as opposed to "binary". So when I created the z/OS JBOSS, I translated the "*.xml" files to EBCDIC. Bad move! I tried to start JBOSS and got a bunch of errors from the SAX parser that didn't make sense. I finally noticed on the Dovetailed Technologies web site for TOMCAT that they said to keep the "*.xml" files in ASCII. So I restored the ASCII version of the XML files and JBOSS came up (not that I know what to do with it now - still reading!). From this, it appears that the XML parser that comes with IBM's JDK 1.5_64 (what I am running) can only read ASCII encoded xml files. Isn't that a trip? Or am I doing something else wrong?
