After installation, I modified the BASServer.props file to include the 'root' password as per the installation instructions. Before starting the Aware IM Control Panel, I ensured that the 2 Catalogs (bsadb, and basdbtest) are not present in MySql. JBoss and Tomcat activation finish successfully, however, the following error (exception) is generated for the Aware IM Server:
