Re: Error when starting Geronimo

[Dain Sundstrom]

This is all fixed now.  This little message helped me find a bunch of  
bugs.

There were two main problems.  The first was caused by me not handling  
exceptions tightly enough in the GBean life cycle events.  The second  
was cause by not initializing the user transaction in the  
WARConfigBuilder.

Thanks for the message,

Any ideas on how I can get it running?
Let me know if I should post the entier stack trace.
Thanks,
