Deployment on custom server

[bnraju1]

When I try to deploy an EAR on JBoss custom server (not default server), I get all kinds of exceptions. The deployment works fine on default server.

I guess I need to copy some xml/JAR files from default to custom server but I don't know which ones. Can anyone help me?

Based on the information you have provided, the solution is to deploy to default since that works.

But seriously, we cannot help you if you don't tell us what the problem is, and saying 'I changed some stuff and now get exceptions' is not telling us about the problem. So provide the following:

1) How did you create your custom configuration? Via the installer? If so, what options did you select? If you started with one of the standard configurations (all, default, minimal) and added/removed files, what did you start with and what did you remove?

2) What exceptions are you getting? Usually you need to look only at the first exception, and its 'caused by' exception, if there is one.

My original intent was to use only Messaging. So I did the following to create a "standalone-messaging" server.

1) Extracted jboss-4.0.4.GA.zip to C:\java folder
2) Extracted jboss-messaging-1.0.1.GA.zip C:\java folder.
3) Extracted apache-ant-1.6.5-bin.zip to C:\java
4) Opened a command prompt and did the following:
cd C:\java\jboss-messaging-1.0.1.GA\util
set JBOSS_HOME=C:\java\jboss-4.0.4.GA
C:\java\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin\ant -f release-admin.xml standalone

Now, when I tried to deploy an EAR to "standalone-messaging" server (I did not remove any files), I received the following exception:

That explains it. The standalone messaging server supports only JMS, and thus only messaging clients. It does not support EAR files, nor EJBs.
