             Summary: NullPointerException when deploying WAR on z/OS
                 Key: WFLY-1561
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-1561
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: IBM z/OS 1.13, IBM Java 7 64-bit
            Reporter: Mike Polan


I am getting a NullPointerException when attempting to deploy a WAR file on a JBoss 7.1.1.Final instance running on an IBM z/OS 1.13 mainframe. I tried running JBoss with IBM Java 6 and 7, both 64-bit, and got the same effect. I should also note that this WAR file contains no JBoss-specific configuration files (it's being ported from another servlet container), and that I do NOT encounter this exception when deploying on the same JBoss release on a Windows 7 machine. I do not know of a workaround for this problem.

This stack trace appears after the "Starting deployment of app.war" message:
