Exploded app deploys fine in standalone tomcat 6.0 but not in Jboss 5.1

I have an app that's running exploded in tomcat 6.0 and working fine.  When I try to deploy to Jboss I get the following:

2010-10-20 17:18:05,764 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext] (main) Error starting static Resources
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Document base C:\jboss\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy\reportintegrator-web\WEB-INF\web.xml does not exist or is not a readable directory
at org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext.setDocBase(FileDirContext.java:148)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.resourcesStart(StandardContext.java:4021)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4188)
. . .

My web.xml file exists where the error references, and I changed my permissions so that the user running Jboss has full access to all directories under the exploded structure.

My web.xml file is attached.

Thank you.

Looks like the immediate issue here is that the exploded structure must be named (something).war (or .sar, or the like).  There are other issues popping up now with the deployment, but the error messages for those look to be more informative.

Correct. JBoss requires a suffix for your deployment artifacts. Tomcat, on the other hand, treats directory deployed as Web applications.
