I know this doesn't solve your problem, but the error: anonymous wrote : url=file:/D:/Liferay/liferay-portal-jboss-tomcat-4.2-5.0.1/server/default/deploy/test_abc.zip/ } | . . . | state: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER indicates that jbossas has no idea how to deploy a zip file. You could try unpacking the zip file. Usually, the file has to end in war, jar, ear, sar or one of the other extensions that jbossas recognizes.
