When I publish an EAR project from my workspace into JBoss 4.2.1 it does not publish
correctly. I have tried both the WTP supplied 4.2 driver and the JBossAS-Tools supplied
4.2 driver.
My JBoss runtime is at /opt/jboss-4.2.1.GA this directory tree is writable by my userid,
also exists is $HOME/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp2 which
is also being published too as well as.
After a successful publish operation (successful from looking at the GUI, but unsuccessful
from looking at the JBoss log) the following things happen:
The JBoss runtime home
(/opt/jboss-4.2.1.GA/data/opt/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/default/deploy/) ends up with an
exploded EAR directory (this is the name of my project with the .ear extension but its a
directory not a file), inside this directory is all the other subdirectories that make up
the tree, but the only file in there is that of a Utility JAR. There was no
META-INF/application.xml and there is no EJB implementation JAR.
In the workspace server plugin temporary area for this server instance
($HOME/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp2) I find an EAR file
(which internally has my META-INF/application.xml, my Utility JAR and my EJB JAR). It
also has a directory (same name as EAR but without the .ear extension) this has all 3
files I'd expect to see in an exploded EAR tree.
When looking at the launch configuration for JBoss I can't see where the workspace
deployment location is specified in the configuration, so I can only presume that what
JBoss sees is only the file copied into the runtime home. Unlike Tomcat which can have a
read-only runtime home but a read-write instance tree allowing for the sharing of the
container by multiple instances in server tooling.
What copies the files during deployment into the JBoss runtime tree ?
Is there anyone who is actually using the server tools successfully in this way ? If so
what versions of things to you have installed ?
I'm using: Eclipse 3.3.1, WTP 2.0.1, JBoss 4.2.1, JBossAS-Tools-1.0.0.beta4
Thanks, Darryl
