I think I am very near to finding the error now!!!!! I tried to remove the war file, and all tmp files, and files in work, and start the server! It still loads the recks app, and creates a temp dir for it which it put files inside!!! and here is more: That tmp files contain the old version of the class! So now I know what happens, now the big question is just WHAT does it use to create that tmp war file, even if there is no war file in deploy/all dir and the TMP dir is empty when jboss server starts! Is there anyway to know what jboss uses to create this, if I can find where that file is, I will know. The log does not give any clue ( this is the first entry in the log to contain the app recks. What is ctxPath ??? 10:53:12,332 INFO [TomcatDeployer] deploy, ctxPath=/recks, warUrl=file:/usr/jboss/server/all/tmp/deploy/tmp48587recks.war/ View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4234906#...
