Dear group,

I have troubles upgrading liferay to Version 5.0.1.

Background:
I run liferay version 4.3.5 on Jboss 4.2 (was the bundle installation) with a mysql database.

1. Step: Upgrade to 4.4.2
This worked without problems after following the steps from the wiki.

2. Step: Upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1
When following the steps from the wiki (copy dependencies and deploy WAR file) I got the following error from Jboss:

2008-05-25 19:39:43,108 INFO [STDOUT] 19:39:43,103 ERROR [WSDDDeployableItem:560] Unable to deploy typemapping: {http://model.blogs.portlet.liferay.com}BlogsCategorySoap
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.portlet.blogs.model.BlogsCategorySoap
etcetc.

And the end I get:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'com.liferay.portlet.blogs.service.BlogsCategoryService.transaction' is defined
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinition(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:378)

As an alternative I tried a different approach:
I downloaded the new 5.0.1. JBoss 4.2. bundle - and copied the whole Folder ROOT.war to my 4.4.2 portal.
Then I got the following exception:

2008-05-25 19:18:15,856 INFO [STDOUT] 19:18:15,851 INFO [[/tunnel-web]:631] Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext

2008-05-25 19:18:17,704 ERROR [org.apache.axis.deployment.wsdd.WSDDDeployableItem] Unable to deploy typemapping: {http://model.blogs.portlet.liferay.com}BlogsCategorySoap
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.portlet.blogs.model.BlogsCategorySoap
etcetc

and then later:

2008-05-25 19:18:19,144 ERROR [org.apache.axis.deployment.wsdd.WSDDDeployableItem] Unable to deploy typemapping: {urn:oasis:names:tc:wsrp:v1:types}Online
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oasis.names.tc.wsrp.v1.types.Online



Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,

Simon

short update on this one:

I tried to reconstruct the errors with a clean "sandbox" installation of my version (4.3.5 JBOss 4.2 bundle) - to check if some of my changes messed the ugrade up:

The result is as before: 4.3.5 to 4.4.2 works fine - 4.4.2 to 5.0.1 fails.

The upgrade routine is run - but the jboss throws the mentioned errors.
BTW: The browser displays the following then:


Next thing I'll try is: 4.3.5 -> 4.4.9 -> 5.0.1.

If that fails i try to go JBoss 4.3.5. -> Tomcat 4.3.5 -> 4.4.2. -> 5.0.1.

One more question:
How is one supposed to deploy the war file to the JBoss?
- copy the contents to the ROOT.war folder? or
- copy the war file into the deploy folder (there will be no ROOT.war folder created then..)

As always thanks in advance - and I'm gonna keep you updated...

Sorry for spamming again - but I also noted the following:

When restoring my sandbox 4.3.5. (mySQL restore + old dependencies + old ROOT.war folder) I get the following errors.
However - liferay seems to work.

2008-05-28 19:51:30,881 DEBUG [org.jboss.mq.pm.jdbc2.PersistenceManager] Could not create table with SQL: CREATE CACHED TABLE JMS_MESSAGES ( MESSAGEID INTEGER NOT NULL, DESTINATION VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, TXID INTEGER, TXOP CHAR(1), MESSAGEBLOB OBJECT, PRIMARY KEY (MESSAGEID, DESTINATION) )

and

just FYI (maybe somebody knows?)

Hey,
I moved the jms directory from the deploy directory and the error first went away. Those lucene lock files aren't always cleaned up on exit check in your home directory for a liferay/lucene directory and clean that out.
Eric

Hi Eric,

thanks a lot!
I wasn't aware of those folders - cleaning them helped against the error!

How about the other working folders like the hibernate ones? I clean them now as well...

For the rest of the upgrade:
I'm still confused about deployment on JBoss - and started a seperate thread for that: http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/903169

At least restoring my old 4.3.5 version worked finally without problems - it seems that using the ROOT.war from the bundle was one key step to achieve that.

More to come...

Hi!

I'm trying the upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.0 (with jboss 4.0 on mac osx) at the moment and I get the same error!

(Thread: http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/1110353)

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks!

Anika

P.S:
BTW: I'm also coming from 4.3.5
