Apps are deployed based on their extensions. For example, *.ear is deployed as an enterprise app, *.war is deployed as a web app. This applies whether the app is deployed as an archive file or as an exploded directory. It appears that you are deploying as an exploded directory - but it is missing the extension to identify the type of app it is: url=file:/jboss/server/myserver/deploy/myproject/Mess aging/1.0-SNAPSHOT/ I would assume that "myproject" requires an extension.
