Rajesh, Looking at this I don't see the cause of the problem. Tried something similar myself and it worked fine. Only odd thing I saw was the ObjectName given to the deployment: jboss.web:j2eeType=WebModule,name=//ssa/,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none I would expect: jboss.web:j2eeType=WebModule,name=//localhost/ssa/,J2EEApplication=none,J2EEServer=none where 'localhost' is the name of the relevant Host element from server.xml. Don't really see how that would matter. But it's slightly odd that there is no host name. You can try enabling DEBUG logging for org.apache.catalina to see if that shows more, but I'm travelling and won't look at it until next week.
