Hi, when trying to deploy my EAR file at JBoss 4.2.1 (Java 1.6) I'm getting following exception: Failed to parse WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml; - nested throwable: (org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Security role 'userpreferencesservicerole' defined in jboss-web.xml is not defined in web.xml) However, the security role "userpreferencesservicerole" is defined in both jboss-web.xml AND web.xml, so what is going wrong here? jboss-web.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | | <jboss-web> | <security-role> | <role-name>userpreferencesservicerole</role-name> | <principal-name>UserPreferencesServiceUsers</principal-name> | </security-role> | | <context-root></context-root> | <security-domain>java:/jaas/postboxjaas</security-domain> | </jboss-web> web.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> | <!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd"> | <web-app> | <display-name>UserPreferencesService</display-name> | <session-config> | <session-timeout>60</session-timeout> | </session-config> | <security-constraint> | <web-resource-collection> | <web-resource-name>UserPreferencesService</web-resource-name> | <url-pattern>/UserPreferencesService/*</url-pattern> | <http-method>GET</http-method> | <http-method>POST</http-method> | </web-resource-collection> | <auth-constraint> | <role-name>userpreferencesservicerole</role-name> | </auth-constraint> | <user-data-constraint> | <transport-guarantee>NONE</transport-guarantee> | </user-data-constraint> | </security-constraint> | <login-config> | <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> | </login-config> | <security-role> | <role-name>userpreferencesservicerole</role-name> | </security-role> | </web-app> Exception stacktrace org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Failed to parse WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml;
