[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6009?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Brian Stansberry updated AS7-6009: ---------------------------------- Description: The error found in the server log files was: 13:58:40,009 INFO [org.jboss.as.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS014774: Service status report JBAS014777: Services which failed to start: service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./apex: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./apex: JBAS018040: Failed to start context Occurence details: 1. The issue occured following a restart of the application server Analysis details: 1. From the perspective of the JBOSS 7 admin console ... the admin console shows that the "apex.war" application is deployed and "enabled". I believe it should not display "enabled" as the context has failed to start and it is NOT capable of servicing requests. Details to reproduce: 1. Download Oracle Apex Listener 1.1.4 from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex-listener/downloads... 2. Unzip the war file e.g jar xvf apex.war 3. Modify the web.xml by adding: <context-param> <param-name>config.dir</param-name> <param-value>/opt/jboss/apex_config_dir</param-value> </context-param> 4. Create the path "/opt/jboss/apex_config_dir". 5. Zip the war file. cd locationContaining the Web-INF directory jar cvf apex.war * 6. Deploy war file and enable via admin console. Stop Server. Start server. 7. Exception occurs. NOTE: there could be an additional step to reproduce. Will detail if above does not work. NOTE2: I can redeploy the above application and get it working again by removing some files that are auto generated by apex.war (so a partial bit of this issue is probably application related). was: The error found in the server log files was: 13:58:40,009 INFO [org.jboss.as.controller] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS014774: Service status report JBAS014777: Services which failed to start: service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./apex: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./apex: JBAS018040: Failed to start context Occurence details: 1.
