Stopping deletes files in deploy-hasingleton

[j-n00b]

Hi there!

I am running a JBoss 5.0.0.GA Cluster. The deployment consists of a simple SLSB in folder "all/deploy" and an MBean in "all/deploy-hasingleton". The MBean is supposed to run only on the Master Node, but is installed on all nodes. Failover, etc, works pretty fine. But when I stop one of the servers, the files in "deploy-hasingleton" are deleted! This is really annoying, because I have to copy the files there again, before restarting the server.

I tried different things to stop the server:
- Ctrl-C in the console
- shutdown.bat -S
- net stop JBoss (when running as Service)
But the result was always the same.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,
Andre

You are right. I just reproduced this on JBossAS5.0 GA by placing a queue configuration file in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/all/deploy-hasingleton folder. On shutdown, the file was deleted. Could you please open a thread in JBossAS5 forum http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=287, where someone might be knowing the cause? You can point to this topic in the your thread. The issue can be reproduced from the command prompt too without the need of running as service (so the "service" factor can be ruled out as the cause)

Found it. It looks like it's the SerializableDeploymentRepository which does this:

protected VFSDeployment removeApplication(String vfsPath) throws Exception
 {
 VFSDeployment vfsDeployment = getApplication(vfsPath);
 VirtualFile root = vfsDeployment.getRoot();
 if(root.delete() == false)
 throw new IOException("Failed to delete: " + root);

 return this.applicationCtxs.remove(vfsPath);
 }

Not sure why the application needs to be physically deleted.
