jbossws-framework.jar is deployed under jboss/server//lib. This is how the ServerConfigFactory shows up in the log : 2007-08-23 13:34:29,019 DEBUG [main][DeploymentAspectManagerImpl]: WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect:Create 2007-08-23 13:34:29,191 DEBUG [main][DefaultSPIProvider]: provide SPI 'class org.jboss.wsf.spi.management.ServerConfigFactory' 2007-08-23 13:34:29,206 DEBUG [main][DefaultSPIProvider]: class org.jboss.wsf.spi.management.ServerConfigFactory Implementation: org.jboss.wsf.framework.management.ServerConfigFactoryImpl@93727d 2007-08-23 13:34:29,222 ERROR [main][MainDeployer]: Could not start deployment: file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/epicenter.ear/epicenter.jar java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.wsf.framework.deployment.WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.generatWebDeployment(WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.java:105) at org.jboss.wsf.framework.deployment.WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.create(WebAppGeneratorDeploymentAspect.java:84) at org.jboss.wsf.framework.deployment.DeploymentAspectManagerImpl.deploy(DeploymentAspectManagerImpl.java:115) But the real problem is I think is the MANIFEST.MF in the jbossws.sar/META-INF directory. I see quite a few DeploymentExceptions during startup regards to unreachable jar files 'cos the MANIFEST.MF points to the wrong location. 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][ClassLoaderUtils]: Multiple class loaders found for pkg: 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: resolveLibraries: jbossws-spi.jar jbossws-common.jar jbossws-framework.jar jboss-jaxrpc.jar jboss-jaxws.jar jboss-saaj.jar activation.jar commons-logging.jar concurrent.jar javassist.jar jaxb-api.jar jaxb-impl.jar mail.jar jboss-remoting.jar jboss-xml-binding.jar policy.jar stax-api.jar wsdl4j.jar 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: new manifest entry for sdi at jbossws.sar entry is jbossws-spi.jar 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: The manifest entry in file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws.sar/ references URL file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws-spi.jar which could not be opened, entry ignored 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][NestedThrowable]: org.jboss.util.NestedThrowable.parentTraceEnabled=true 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][NestedThrowable]: org.jboss.util.NestedThrowable.nestedTraceEnabled=false 2007-08-23 13:33:17,948 DEBUG [main][NestedThrowable]: org.jboss.util.NestedThrowable.detectDuplicateNesting=true org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws-spi.jar could not be opened, does it exist? at org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo.(DeploymentInfo.java:214) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.parseManifestLibraries(MainDeployer.java:1137) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.init(MainDeployer.java:884) 2007-08-23 13:33:17,964 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: new manifest entry for sdi at jbossws.sar entry is jbossws-common.jar 2007-08-23 13:33:17,964 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: The manifest entry in file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws.sar/ references URL file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws-common.jar which could not be opened, entry ignored org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws-common.jar could not be opened, does it exist? at org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo.(DeploymentInfo.java:214) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.parseManifestLibraries(MainDeployer.java:1137) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.init(MainDeployer.java:884) 2007-08-23 13:33:17,964 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: new manifest entry for sdi at jbossws.sar entry is jbossws-framework.jar 2007-08-23 13:33:17,964 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: The manifest entry in file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws.sar/ references URL file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws-framework.jar which could not be opened, entry ignored org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws-framework.jar could not be opened, does it exist? at org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo.(DeploymentInfo.java:214) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.parseManifestLibraries(MainDeployer.java:1137) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.init(MainDeployer.java:884) 2007-08-23 13:33:17,964 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: new manifest entry for sdi at jbossws.sar entry is jboss-jaxrpc.jar 2007-08-23 13:33:17,964 DEBUG [main][MainDeployer]: The manifest entry in file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jbossws.sar/ references URL file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jboss-jaxrpc.jar which could not be opened, entry ignored org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/C:/dev/sources/newport/jboss/server/epicenter/deploy/jboss-jaxrpc.jar could not be opened, does it exist? at org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo.(DeploymentInfo.java:214) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.parseManifestLibraries(MainDeployer.java:1137) at org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.init(MainDeployer.java:884) There is more but I think this is the problem...
