I wasn't able to reproduce this. I tried with a new file called deleteme-ds.xml. Deleted it through the ProfileService and recopied a deleteme-ds.xml into the deploy directory and it booted up. My next test is to take that copied deleteme-ds.xml and change its jndi-name in the file and reboot to see if that reproduces the problem Nope, that didn't reproduce the problem. If I get it again and remember something specific that can make it reproducible, I will post it. Mark View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4040798#...
