Over the weekend, I was playing around with JBoss Application Server on CentOS 7. I installed 7.1.1, and when I tried to start, it was hung at starting.

I waited for few minutes but no luck.
Are you in the same situation? Don’t panic!
It seems there is known issue with JBoss 7 with Java 8 and solution is to use Java 7. The first thing you want to verify if you are using Java 8.
[[email protected] bin]# java -version openjdk version "1.8.0_111" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b15) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b15, mixed mode) [[email protected] bin]#
As you can see above, I am having Java 8 and need to use Java 7.
If you are on CentOS, then you can use the lower version of Java with the following command.
update-alternatives --config java
It will give you the option to select the java version
[[email protected] bin]# update-alternatives --config java There are 2 programs which provide 'java'. Selection Command ----------------------------------------------- 1 java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.121-2.6.8.0.el7_3.x86_64/jre/bin/java) *+ 2 java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64 (/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-2.b15.el7_3.x86_64/jre/bin/java) Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:
Enter 1, and you are all set.
If you are using RHEL or don’t have Java 7 then first you got to install and set in the PATH.
Once I set Java 7, JBoss 7 could start successfully.
