JBAS011679: The broadcast group 'bg-group1' defines reference to nonexistent connector 'netty'.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 6.x
  • Java 8

Issue

When starting a server, the following error appears in the logs:

[Server:xxx] ]) - failure description: "JBAS011679: The broadcast group 'bg-group1' defines reference to nonexistent connector 'netty'. Available connectors '[in-vm]'."
[Server:xxx] 14:54:50,719 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread) "JBAS014784: Failed executing subsystem messaging boot operations"

The server group points to a profile that has the netty connector defined. Some other server-groups in the environment are able to start using the same profile.

Resolution

Downgrade to Java 7. There's a known issue with java 8 that's been fixed in WildFly, but not in JBoss EAP 6.x:

Also note that Java 8 is not currently supported with EAP 6 as it is not tested. See this article for details.
