Are you starting the app server with your application already in the deploy directory, or are you hot-deploying (starting the app server first and then copying your application to the deploy directory after the app server is started)? The reason I ask is that about 1/2 of my applications will not deploy correctly if they are in the deploy directory when the app server starts, but these same applications deploy just fine if I hot deploy them. Of course, this is not a solution but will could get you by until the deployment issues are fixed. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4121011#...
