Cannot deploy Web Service ear to JBoss As 4.3 , JDK 1.6 with

[jbossfreebee]

I am getting the following error when trying to deploy a Web Service ear to JBoss As 4.3 using JDK 1.6
with Eclipse IDE 3.4.2 on Windows

The error is:
ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not initialise deployment ......................org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No META-INF/application.xml found


Is it a known bug? Any help would be appreciated.

Try deploying the web service as a WAR rather than a EAR...

Thanks I could deploy the WAR and could see the service through localhost/jbossws, but when I am creating a client along with it and trying to deploy the ear I am getting the following error, that application.xml is not found

So it is a known bug? Is there any bug registered for this?

Do you have any samples(links) of a stanalone client that would invoke this web service?

Appreciate help.

Does your EAR project source contain a META-INF/application.xml

Heres an example ...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:application="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd" id="Application_ID" version="5">
 <display-name>TestWS</display-name>
 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>TestWS.war</web-uri>
 <context-root>TestWS</context-root>
 </web>
 </module>
</application>

Thanks Noelo for the pointer. I first created a Ent proj and then app client module, this way application.xml got generated. Its Eclipse magic.

Appreciate your help.
