Please provide more information including the version of JBossAS and Java you use. Also how is the jboss service deployed? Through some -service.xml file? Where in the EAR is it placed? And what does deployed but not auto-started mean? Also post relevant logs from the console (not server.log). While posting logs or xml content or code, please remember to wrap it in a code block by using the Code button in the message editor window. Please use the Preview button to ensure that your post is correctly formatted. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4226361#...
