when an exploded WAR with a non-well-formed web.xml and a jboss-web.xml is copied into deploy/ while the app server is running, it cannot be deleted, because its jboss-web.xml is locked ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6179 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6179 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA Environment: Windows Reporter: Ian Springer Assignee: Remy Maucherat Note, the WAR must have a jboss-web.xml in WEB-INF and its web.xml must be a non-well-formed XML file (it's not enough for it to only be invalid). After the deploy fails, the jboss-web.xml is locked and so cannot be deleted without either stopping the app server or using a Windows utility such as Unlocker. Some code in the app server must be neglecting to close the file handle after opening jboss-web.xml. A WAR that can be used to reproduce the bug is attached. Here is the errors that are printed when the WAR is copied (in exploded form) into the deploy dir: 17:07:46,754 ERROR [XmlFileLoader] XmlFileLoader: File file:/C:/opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy/invalid-webxml- exploded.war//WEB-INF/web.xml process fatal error.
