Huge amount of JAR files in vfs-nested.tmp directory(JBoss 5.1.0.GA)

[vladbz]

Sometimes we have huge amount of JAR files in  jboss/server/web/tmp/vfs-nested.tmp directory.
For example this directory contained over 350k jar files.

But now we have this problem on 2 hosts only.

On other hosts there  are only 2 jar files in this directory.

We deploy our war files not to deploy directory.

Following entry was added to vfs.xml:

        <entry>

          <key>${out.jboss.deploy.url}</key>

          <value><inject bean="VfsNamesExceptionHandler"/></value>

        </entry>

OS: AIX

JBoss AS: JBoss 5.1.0.GA

<key>${out.jboss.deploy.url}</key>

What is the value of that property and how do you pass that value?

[vladbz]

export JAVA_OPTS="-Djboss.server.base.dir=${APPBIN}/.tools/jboss

                  -Djboss.server.base.url=file:${APPBIN}/.tools/jboss

                  -Djboss.server.log.dir=${APPTRC}

                  -Dout.jboss.deploy.url=file:${APPBIN}/WebApp

                  -Dout.traceconf=file:${TRACE_CONFIG_FILE}

                  ..."

nohup ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/run.sh -c web -b 0.0.0.0 2>&1 1>>${APPTRC}/jboss.trace &

WebApp is a directory where we deploy our web applications.

I do not understand why do we have this problem only on 2 hosts.

We have a lot of computers with jboss and with our web applications and we do not have this problem on these computers.

Versions of JBoss and our applications the same on all hosts.

The only thing I can think about is, the file:${APPBIN}/WebApp value probably doesn't get evaluated to the actual path where the application is deployed. Try printing out that value and see if it is the same as where the application is deployed.
