Jboss6 deploying war-file twice?

[rop]

I have a simple webapp, and every time I deploy it on Jboss-6, the deployment seems to go well (no errors in the log).

But at the end of the deployment, after a few seconds, it automatically does

  ... undeploy, ctxPath=/myWebapp

then deploys the whole thing again, and after that the application runs fine.

I. e. from the server-log it seems like it does the whole deployment-cycle twice, which I dont understand.

Anyone else seen this behaviour?

Why does it happen?

It only happens on war- and ear-deployment, not ejb-jars...

I remember seeing this issue on this forum already, but afair I couldn't reproduce it.

While Jaikiran and me are guessing something strange is going on with (your) system clock.

hmm.... I strongly doubt though the problem is my system-clock.

It is my development work-station (WinXP), I use it everyday since 2 years and never noticed anything like that.

But I will also try to deploy it on a different Win-box and also a Linux-box here, to see if the behaviour is the same.

Under Win-XP, I found out this:

When you have a new war-file, and hot-deploy it the first time, it seems I always get the double-deploy behaviour.

If I then hot-undeploy, and hot-deploy it again (with same timestamp on the war-file), it does not double-deploy, but only normal single-deploy.

If I then hot-undeploy again, and update the war-file-timestamp + hot-deploy again, it will again double-deploy.

So it seems the double-deploy occurs when it is hot-deployed with a new timestamp not seen before,

but on hot-undeploy + hot-deploy still somehow remembers the last timestamp, which determines if the double-deploy occurs or not.

Hope this can provide you some clue for you?

On Linux, I do not get the double-deploy behaviour.

Hmm.... looking at the log again, it actually looks like it might be a Struts/xwork-issue again...

The last two lines in the server-log, before the automatic second deploy, is:

2011-04-08   INFO  [com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.impl.DefaultConfiguration] Overriding property struts.i18n.reload - old value: false new value: true

15:41:36,603 INFO  [com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.impl.DefaultConfiguration] Overriding property struts.configuration.xml.reload - old value: false new value: true

Since it says "...reload..." in there.......  hmmm.......
