EJBCA 'Ubuntu quick start' fails to deploy on JBoss

I followed quick start steps described in EJBCA documentation (http://www.ejbca.org/docs/installation.html)

'ant deploy' eventually failed with the following error

    set-paths-not-jboss7:

set-paths:

jee:deployServicesJBoss5:

jee:assert-runJBoss7:
     [echo] Checking if JBoss 7 is up and running...
     [exec] Result: 1

BUILD FAILED
/home/pa/ejbca-setup/ejbca_ce_6_0_3/build.xml:635: The following error occurred while executing this line:

Solution

My problem was that JBoss wasn't starting. The documentation did point out that if 'ant deploy' fails, most likely caused is JBoss not running.

Since JBoss did not show any error, I thought it was up, however upon second look I understood that it was stuck in 'starting' state. There were no errors in log files. My Java version was 8. Installing Java 7 fixed the problem. Be sure to recompile EJBCA after switching Java.
