Problem with farm folder scanning

[synbios]

Hello,

I've configured 2 JBoss instances (4.0.2) on the same machine that work in a cluster named WKEIPTRANSFO.
I've configured farm-service.xml like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
 <classpath codebase="lib" archives="jbossha.jar"/>
 <mbean code="org.jboss.ha.framework.server.FarmMemberService"
 name="jboss:service=FarmMember,partition=${jboss.partition.name:DefaultPartition}">
 <depends>jboss:service=${jboss.partition.name:DefaultPartition}</depends>
 <depends>jboss.ejb:service=EJBDeployer</depends>
 <depends>jboss.web:service=WebServer</depends>
 <attribute name="Deployer">jboss.system:service=MainDeployer</attribute>
 <attribute name="PartitionName">${jboss.partition.name:DefaultPartition}</attribute>
 <attribute name="ScanPeriod">5000</attribute>
 <attribute name="URLs">.\farm</attribute>
 </mbean>
</server>

Then I start the two servers and move an ear to the farm directory. I obtain the following exceptions. Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks

Hello,

Regarding the EIPTransfo_d.ear error below. It looks like EIPTransfo_d.ear is a folder (exploded archive) rather than an archive.

Farm deployment of exploded archives is currently not supported (vote for http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1239 if you want this changed).

To work around the error, you need to jar up the contents of EIPTransfo_d.ear. Place the output jar (EIPTransfo_d.ear) in the farm folder instead of the EIPTransfo_d.ear folder.
