Solution

To correct this, you need to change the following;
open the file
JBOSS_INSTALLATION/jboss_5.xxGA/server/default/conf/bootstrap/profile.xml

and find the following tag;
<constructor>
    <parameter>
        <inject bean=”BootstrapProfileFactory” property=”attachmentStoreRoot”/>
    </parameter>
</constructor>

then change it to by adding the text in color;
<constructor>
    <parameter  class=”java.io.File”>
        <inject bean=”BootstrapProfileFactory” property=”attachmentStoreRoot” />
    </parameter>
</constructor>
