URLDeploymentScanner choking on GIFs and JPEGs

[otisg]

Hello,

JBoss 3.2.5, newly installed. I'm having problems deploying my EAR expanded.
It looks like URLDeploymenScanner is choking on my GIFs and JPEGs, like this:

18:56:47,662 WARN [JARDeployer] Failed to add deployable jar: file:/opt/wgen-3p/.version/jboss-3.2.5/server/neptune/tmp/deploy/tmp2305833_bh.gif
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
...
...
at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner.deploy(URLDeploymentScanner.java:304)
at org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner.scan(URLDeploymentScanner.java:478)


So, it looks like I need to tell JBoss not to try to unzip my GIFs and JPEGs. I thought I could do it by adding *.gif and *.jpg to some list of files to filter, but it looks like Filter defined in jboss-service.xml does not take any parameters and has only the default list of files to skip.

I read
http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=DeploymentScanner
and
http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ConfiguringTheDeploymentScannerInConfjbossSystem.xml

Maybe this can be done some other way?

Thanks,
Otis
P.S.
GIFs and JPEGs deployed in an expanded EAR didn't give me any trouble with JBoss 3.2.3.

Are the images in the ear or war / jar?

GIFs and JPGs aren't deployment units. The JarDeployer ist the last deployer, trying do deploy everything not deployed with the other deployers.
Put them into a jar in your ear.
