Error starting jboss server

I've just finished re-installing my OS, and as always install and test standard tools which I use, and now I get this error like never before when I tried to start Jboss 5 from eclipse, its quite big exeption :

Did anyone had the similar problem before?I've never encountered it so far

Looks like a bug that occurs with certain specific combinations of JRE and OS versions (see https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6981). Basically, the JBoss config is relying on reflection to return constructors in a certain order, and in some cases this order is different, causing the exception. Did you change your JRE version when you reinstalled, say from 1.6.0_17 to _18?

Anyway, the workaround is described in the JIRA issue, and also here. You need to change the content of conf/bootstrap/profile.xml. Look for the definition of the AttachmentStore, and change the constructor line so that it starts like this (i.e. add the class XML attribute to the parameter tag):

<constructor><parameter class="java.io.File"><inject …

The original version doesn't have the class="java.io.File" attribute.

Pretty sloppy of the JBoss folks, but there you go.

jboss-5.0.0.GA-JDK6/server/default/conf/bootstrap$ diff bindings.xml.old bindings.xml

In this file you have to change two things. One:

Old

<bean name="StandardBindings" class="java.util.HashSet"
< elementClass="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingMetadata">
<constructor>
<parameter>
<set>
—New
<bean name="StandardBindings" class="java.util.HashSet">
 <constructor>
<parameter class="java.util.Collection">
 <set elementClass="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingMetadata">

Second: And then your http port number in the below bean definition

<bean class="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingMetadata">
               <property name="serviceName">jboss.web:service=WebServer</property>
               <property name="port">7070</property>
