Deployment error on JBOSS 3.2.2

[bbbear]

Hi,

I tried to deploy an ear on JBOSS 3.2.2 with JDK 1.4.2 but it gives this error during half way of deployment. Anyone know what this error is??

15:12:01,896 ERROR [MainDeployer] could not create deployment: file:/C:/JBOSS3/server/test/tmp/deploy/tmp9336test.ear-contents/Testing.jar

Some light is needed. : ) Thanks...

Most likely, the SAX parser does not like your XML - in particular the first line with the character encoding:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Cp1252"?>

Use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

This will be required to be changed in your EJB deployment descriptors (ejb-jar.xml, jboss.xml, etc). I'm assuming JAR you are deploying is an EJB bundle.
