Failed to invoke startup class "ClusteredMQJMSStartup", java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Question

          Windows 2000
          BEA WLS 8.1 SP1
          Created a config based on the template for a WLS with Workshop - "cgServer".
          Changed <configdir>/startWeblogic.cmd to include the extra classes I need to execute
          my startup class.
          Added 2 new servers via the Admin console (http://localhost:7001/) entitled "cgServer2"
          and "cgServer3"
          Added a cluster and added cgServer2 and cgServer3 to the cluster.
          Targetted startup class to the cluster.
          Stop everything.
          Start cgServer via the startWeblogic.cmd script - OK.
          Start cgServer2 via the startManagedWeblogic.cmd script - OK.
          Start cgServer3 via the startManagedWeblogic.cmd script - OK.
          BUT
          if I try and start the managed servers via the admin console, each server reports
          that it cannot find the startup class:
          <11-Feb-2004 11:00:34 o'clock CET> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000286> <Failed
          to invoke startup class "ClusteredMQJMSStartup", java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
          demo.MQJMSStartup
          Failed to invoke startup class "ClusteredMQJMSStartup", java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
          What have I missed in the configuration of the Node Manager (I assume it is that)?
          I want cgServer to be the admin server and cgServers 2 and 3 to be my application
          servers, and I will not have everything on the same machine, so I need to use
          the Admin console to manage the cluster and ind its managed-servers.
          FYI - the same code with the same configuration for a single server (no cluster)
          works fine.
          Thanks in advance ... KSS
          

Answer 1

Check your Startup class code...Are u trying to read any "*.properties" file ?
It is possible that that particular properties file is present only in ManagedServer1 Box and Not in the ManagedServer2 & 3 boxes.
