Hi, i am no expert but a developer who subsribes to this list. I just wanted to say that this seems rather like
a practical problem which has to do with that AS needs to first undeploy an installed application in order to deploy it again.
Doing that over over again leaves u in a situation when AS didnt have time or something like that to do it properly. I actually experienced the same problem with webservice in Jetbrains Idea 6.0/Jboss AS 4.2 and even when developing webservice with Eclipse/Ibm Websphere AS 6.1
Hope this was of some help.
