The application.xml looks fine to me. Which version of JBoss are you using? Also, the server.log file contains more verbose logs and those logs might explain what's going wrong. Do you have any other configuration files (like jboss-app.xml or jboss-web.xml in your application)? Can you post the contents of the following (from the command prompt): jar -tf myapp.ear where myapp.ear is the name of your application. That will print out the exact contents of your package.
