If I may guess from the above stacktrace, it is an 5.0.0 BETA JBoss. I would hint at a misspelled entry and / or the usage of a wrong JBoss runtime installation, when the index page is still coming up, although the ROOT.war has been removed. Did you delete the tmp and work directories? Perhaps the index page is being served from there. Peter View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4029667#...
