Hello all,

I'm new to trying to run JBoss localy, so pleaes forgive me if I don't provide enough information (or too much).

We have some web services that we are currently running on a JBoss server that I'm trying to run locally for debug purposes.  I can run the services okay when I execute them as a Junit test, but when I try to run them on a my JBoss 5.1 server within Eclipse I get the below error.  If I try to run it a 2nd time I get a different error; a class not found on that same DFClient class (but have verified that the jar it's in is getting deployed).  This has got me running in circles.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.

No, the prefrences manager is not part of my code which is what's making this so hard to figure out.  It's part of the verdor "under the covers" code.  I think I know what it would be trying to access based on what it's doing at that stage, but I've confirmed that file is in my war as well.  I was hoping someone could point me to a deployment or startup issue.

Upon closer relefection, I am getting an error that I hadn't paid much attention to before because I thought it was on server startup rather than when the code got executed.  The top part of the stack trace looks like this:
