JRun - Troubleshooting "error Could not pre-load servlet: MessageBrokerServlet"

Evironment
- JRun4 + Update6
- LCDS2


I have installed JRun4 already but couldn't run the server. So I search on the Internet about the error and I found the solution. I updated JRun server using Update6. However this time another error ocurred, so I coudn't the server again. Again, thanks to the Internet I got some hint to solve my situation. The error I have met like the picture below:

JRun uses apche API to handle log and this message was that JRun found some same libraries under the JRun directory relating to processing loggin in form of .jar file. The name of library is commons.logging.jar to handle logging.
So I searched the files like below:

I got rid of all highlited files except one. Only valid one is located under default.

Now, it works.

JRun - Troubleshooting when running JRun server

 Feature1. JRun launcher

Feature2. JRun error when starting

I downloaded and installed JRun4.0 developer version. After installation, when I ran the server I met the error like above. So I searched Google and got some answers. Here is solution when you meet the same error like me.


1. Open JRun_install_dir/bin/jvm.config file and edit the line starts with "java.args" like below:

java.args=-Xms32m -Xmx128m -Djmx.invoke.getters=true


2. Save the file and restart JRun server through the launcher.

In other case, you can't run the server when you work with JRun4 with Java1.5. JRun4 doesn't support Java1.5 and over and so you have to update JRun4 using updater6 to use Java1.5.
