[jboss-as7-dev] Deployment Diagnostics

Hi there, Has anyone given much thought to providing more diagnostics when things go wrong during deployment. For example, I recently encountered a problem with an EAR deployment that failed silently. A thread dump revealed that it was stuck at the wait in org.jboss.as.ee.component.BasicComponent.waitForComponentStart(). I eventually figured out that there was a problem in my jboss-ejb3.xml file, but there were no clues to go on at all. Another potential issue with this particular problem is that it's not possible to perform a regular server shutdown once it's in the state above. A "kill -9" is required. I have a sample project that demonstrates this BTW. Cheers, Steve Coy
