http://community.jboss.org/message/637017#637017) Arquillian fails to resolve the context root of the deployment, as it is not specified in the application.xml file. This is a valid scenario, as an application.xml file is not a prerequisite for a deployment. Of importance here, is the format of the {{moduleInfo}} property of the REST resource for the {{list-sub-components}} Admin Command. The moduleInfo returned has the format : {{moduleArchiveURI:moduleType:contextRoot}}. The contextRoot may or may not start with a "/". Currently, the GlassFish extension expects a "/" (which may have been specified in the application.xml file), but as demonstrated by the testcase, this is not necessary and will be absent when the GlassFish container generates the context root itself. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
