[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBVFS-163) [Regression in JBoss 5.x and 6.x compared to 4.x] VFS doesn't support fetching http resources

[Regression in JBoss 5.x and 6.x compared to 4.x] VFS doesn't support fetching http resources --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBVFS-163 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBVFS-163 Project: JBoss VFS Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 2.1.0.GA, 2.1.2.GA, 3.0.0.CR5 Environment: JBoss 5.0.1 GA (jboss-vfs 2.1.2 GA) JBoss 5.1.0 GA (jboss-vfs 2.1.0 GA) JBoss 6.0.0 M3 (jboss-vfs 3.0.0 CR5) Reporter: Savas Ali Tokmen Assignee: David Lloyd Attachments: stacktrace-jboss-5.txt, stacktrace-jboss-6.txt I'm currently working on the porting of our JBoss 4.2 infrastructure to JBoss 5.x, and even maybe 6.x. Since JBoss doesn't allow automated remote deployment (i.e., via JMX for example -a manual access to the JBoss console is necessary) of applications (WAR, EJBs, EARs, etc.), we used to call the JBoss MainDeployer's deploy method with a URL pointing to an HTTP URL which contains all our deployable artifacts. As of JBoss 5.x, this broke. I'm attaching stack traces for JBoss 5 and JBoss 6; in JBoss 5 we clearly see that org.jboss.virtual.VFS.getVFS throws: java.io.IOException: No context factory for http://192.168.0.12:58407/simple-war-1.0.3-SNAPSHOT.war
