You're right. I renamed the oracle jdbc jar file from ojdbc14.jar to ojdbc-14.jar, and it all started working. That is a pretty touchy error source, because it was also preventing postgresql from working. I couldn't even get a data-entry form (page 2 in the wizard) for derby, but once I changed the oracle driver name, everything worked.
One comment, the db pool wizard has fixed fields for each data item: host, port, ... It would be nice to have a single box (as an alternate) where you could enter the entire url string. I've got a complex string, with failovers, etc from our DBA, and there was no way to directly enter it. I had to save the deployment plan and edit it. Thanks, Aaron. You saved me and my bacon. - Ray Clough -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Mulder Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 12:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Geronimo Problem Can you see if the server console output shows any errors, or if not, if the server log file at var/log/geronimo.log shows any errors? Usually if a screen shows up blank there was an exception that prevented it from rendering and the stack trace is in the log. Again, in 1.0, this may be caused by a badly-named JAR in the repository. Or it may be something else. :) Thanks, Aaron On 4/4/06, Clough, Ray C PWR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here is a pdf of the screen shots.
