Dilruwan Madubashitha [https://community.jboss.org/people/techlegend] created the discussion "Problem with war file deployment" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/716743#716743 -------------------------------------------------------------- First of all I am very new to jboss AS and this is my first assignment on jboss AS and I did search for couple of weeks in the forums and Internet before poping up this question. I have a war file which is distributed in the standalone jboss server and all the things works fine except the part where certain pages load its values from a property file and when ever I browse those pages it is not working and following exceptions can be seen in the log. What can be the reason for this. btw THis web app uses spring MVC and hibernate and deployment on apache tomcat version 6 works without any problem 14:23:07,603 ERROR [stderr] (MSC service thread 1-4)
