I see what you are saying. An exception when the module has started does not set the deployment as failed. The state still shows as STARTED. Infact you can access the application (pages) from the browser even with the failures that you reported. So maybe this is not a good way of checking whether the application is corrupt. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Maybe we can point you to something else. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4249811#...
