JRun service cannot start when missing datasource

[TrnsltLife]

I have several datasources defined in jrun-resources.xml

One of these datasources was inaccessible because its server had crashed. The
datasource is almost incidental to the majority of my application, but for some
reason, when I tried to restart the JRun services while this server was down,
the JRun service would simply abort and never start up. The errors in the logs
basically said it could not connect to this datasource.

It doesn't seem like a missing datasource should prevent the service from
starting up. Is there anything I can add to jrun-resources.xml to let the JRun
service start up, even if it can't connect to this particular datasource?

It may be that the time the service took trying to connect to the database
caused a timeout. One thing you can try is starting the server from a command
line at the {jrun-root}/bin directory:

jrun -start [server name]

Another thing you can try is increasing the starttimeout of the startup for
the service. See
