Can not deploy an ear file in RC1

[mostofizadeh]

I just started migrating to using RC1 from 3.0beta. I did noticed the configuration (directory) changes. I have deploy an ear file with the following application.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>


<display-name>SV</display-name>

sv.jar



and connecting to mysql. After having looked in the forums, I realize that I may have to modify mysql-service.xml. But before I get there, I need to deploy my ear file which I have not been able to do so. My first instinct was to copy sv.ear to \jboss-3.0.0RC1_tomcat-4.0.3\server\default\deploy and execute \jboss-3.0.0RC1_tomcat-4.0.3\bin\run.bat. It does not pick sv.ear or generate any errors. Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You better upgrade directly to RC2 as datasource configuration have changed a bit between RC1 and RC2.

Check http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/jboss/jbosscx/src/etc/example-config/

For the right files. You'll also need to modify conf/login-conf.

I came across 'http://www.purposesolutions.com/Resources/EclipseJ2EE.html' in the discussion threads and noticed this comment:

o Disable clustering: If you might ever run JBoss on your machine without a network, you want to do this.
- Create a subfolder %JBOSS_DIST\server\default\deployBackup.
- Move file %JBOSS_DIST%\server\default\deploy\cluster-service.xml away into %JBOSS_DIST%\server\default\deployBackup.

Even though my machine is on a network, removing this file let JBoss continue loading the ear files. Apparently if the cluster service generates any fault, it halts the server. I did not see any apparent error messages in the console when it was halting.

btw, is there a built version of RC2 that I can download?

RC2 is at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jboss.
