thanks jay i manualy copied the ear to jboss deply directory and its working fine. But why is it creating new folder Applications, and why isnt it deploying the application directly to the jboss deply folder. My build.xml looks like this | <property name="jboss.home" value="/opt/jboss-4.2.2.GA" /> | <property name="deploy.dir" value="${jboss.home}/server/default/deploy" /> | | <property name="webroot.dir" value="${deploy.dir}/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/ROOT.war" /> | | <!-- <property name="webroot.dir" value="${deploy.dir}/jboss-web.deployer/ROOT.war" /> --> Thanks for ur reply View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4113822#...
