sar file deployment

[luuzz]

Hello,
I have a jboss service that is auto started only when i deploy it directly in the jboss deploy directory. I tried to put it within an ear file but when i do, it is deployed (i see it in the web-console) but not auto started.
Can someone please help me ?

Please provide more information including the version of JBossAS and Java you use. Also how is the jboss service deployed? Through some -service.xml file? Where in the EAR is it placed? And what does deployed but not auto-started mean? Also post relevant logs from the console (not server.log).

While posting logs or xml content or code, please remember to wrap it in a code block by using the Code button in the message editor window. Please use the Preview button to ensure that your post is correctly formatted.

Hello,
I am using jboss 4.2.0 on jdk 1.6.
the service is deployed as a .sar (which contains a -service.xml) directly copied in the deploy directory .
When i do so, it works perfectly and the service is started after deployment.
But when i place the sar file in an ear, the service is not deployed although i declared the sar module in the application.xml file.

You should be adding the sar as a module in META-INF/jboss-app.xml of the EAR:

<jboss-app>
 <module>
 <service>myapp.sar</service>
 </module>
</jboss-app>

assuming the myapp.sar is at the root of the EAR
