[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - [Deployment] "no META-INF/application.xml found" - Exploded

There is a problem when I am deploying a exploded EAR on outside of /server/default/deploy directory. I also tried to find similar issue on this forum, but I think there is no correct answer about this. My current environment is below: Red Hat Enterprise Linux JDK 1.5.0_14 JBoss 4.2.3 Target ear structure is, EarContent.ear - hello-web.war(exploded) - **.jsp - WEB-INF - classes - lib - web.xml - META-INF - application.xml jboss-service.xml URLs value <attribute name="URLs"> | deploy/,/home/jboss/applications/EarContent.ear | </attribute> application.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" version="1.4" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" | xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd"> | | <display-name>sample ear</display-name> | | <module> | <web> | <web-uri>hello-web.war</web-uri> | <context-root>/hello</context-root> | </web> | </module> | </application> | anonymous wrote : | 13:50:00,077 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not initialise deployment: file:/home/jboss/applications/EarContent.ear | org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No META-INF/application.xml found | at org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer.init(EARDeployer.java:146) I correctly placed META-INF/application.xml under EarContent.ear directory BTW, I don't know why it works under the /deploy folder. Does it have a restriction unless directory is $server/default/deploy? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4186282#...
