Try changing the jboss-service.xml to contain this: ${jboss.server.config.url}props/rdm.properties instead of ${jboss.server.config.url}/props/rdm.properties I am not really sure that this is causing the whole issue. But give it a try and see if it works. If it doesn't then post the contents of that properties file. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4250783#...
