Enterprise bean and EJB container troubleshooting tips
If you are having problems starting an EJB container, or encounter error messages or exceptions that appear to be generated on by an EJB container, follow these steps to resolve the problem:
- Browse the relevant log files for clues:
- Use the Administrative Console to verify that the appserver which
hosts the container is running.
- Browse the JVM
log files for the appserver which
hosts the container. Look for the message server server open
for e-business in the SystemOut.log . If it does not appear, or if you see
the message problems occurred during startup,
browse the SystemErr.log for details.
- Browse the system log files for the appserver which hosts the container.
- Use the Administrative Console to verify that the appserver which
hosts the container is running.
- Use the Log Analyzer tool to browse the service log
file for more information.
- Enable tracing for the EJB Container component, by using the following trace specification EJBContainer=all=enabled. Follow the instructions for dumping and browsing the trace output to narrow the origin of the problem.
