No META-INF/application.xml found

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy an app using jboss 4.2.2 GA, jdk 1.5.12 and eclipse 3.5 (galileo).

I used do deploy a closed ear and everything worked fine, now i have to use an

exploded ear but it's not working. I'm getting this error:

2010-07-05 11:37:00,866 ERROR [org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer]  Could not initialise deployment: file:/application/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/application.ear/
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No META-INF/application.xml  found
at org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer.init(EARDeployer.java:146)

This error is on linux, on windows it works just fine.

The application.xml is there.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have META-INF (case sensitive) folder containing application.xml, in the .ear file?

[thiagosil]

Yes, i'm sure.

Post the output of:

ls -l /application/jboss-4.2.2.GA/server/default/deploy/application.ear/

How are you starting the server? Are you using any specific user for starting the server? What kind of permissions does that user have on the deploy/application.ear folder?

I'm starting  jboss through init.d. The user is a normal one, no special permissions, i  think

the user has write permission to the application folder.

Thanks  again
