awkward error: Jboss trying to install gif image (?)

[atijms]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a web application that was previously deployed to Tomcat 6 to run on Jboss AS 5.1. This application happened to have a faulty web.xml file, which Tomcat accepted but Jboss didn't. However, after failing to parse the web.xml file Jboss continued its attempt to deploy the web module and eventually spitted out error messages like this:

16:50:09,925 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to PreInstall: name=vfsfile:/home/arjan.tijms/programs/eclipse34/branch-private/jboss-5.1.0.GA/server/default/deploy/inventory/images/rating/green/7-rating1.0.gif state=Real mode=Manual requiredState=PreInstall

I saw similar errors earlier when I tried to deploy a web module where the WEB-INF/lib directory contained among others the JTA implementation JoTM. Of course this should not be in a web module when deploying to Jboss AS, but if you do that anyway Jboss AS tries to install each and every file (including .class, .xml, .jsp, etc) as an Mbean, which of course doesn't work. This eventually resulted in the same or very similar "GC overhead limit exceeded" exceptions.

I don't see a reason why this is being considered as a "deployment". As a workaround can you just delete the "inventory" folder? Or is "inventory" your web application that you are trying to deploy? If yes, then rename it to inventory.war

I don't see a reason why this is being considered as a "deployment".

The profile service treats each directory (in deploy/) w/o any '.' in the name as a grouping directory.
e.g. deploy/mmessaging/ (useful to gather together similar deployments)
In this case you have a few of them - inventory, images, rating, green, ...
So each file inside those is the first one to meet criteria to be a deployment.

Like Jaikiran said, simply rename the top one so that includes a '.' in the name.
