How do I: log levels diagnose /=/ Given parent is not an ancestor of this virtual file

[ktensmeyer]

When I attempt to load  a 3rd Party war file using the cli    "deploy liferay-portal-6.1.20.war --server-groups=liferay-server-group" It fails.

What I'd like to do is to rerun this set of commands, but increase the levels of logging for the modules.[ What modules, what log4j sections] [is it possible to change at run-time?]

  I would like to identify which of entries in the WAR file generate this type of exception.

My assumption that a fix/patch for jboss7.1.1 is neither desired or required, but that changes will either be made in the 3rd party module -or- some configuration entry that I've made.

   thank you

Can you deploy it on a standalone server? What's in the manifest of the war itself?

[ktensmeyer]

I could do that. 

I could then guess at which element might give me trouble in the domain environment.

  Or  I could enable detailed logging for the iterator:  checking the contents of incoming package, and let it tell me which  resource has an issue (inside of a manifest.xml) or inside of a project jar, or a a resource jar or ....

enabling sections of Log4J support areas works if you know what the support sections are.

   I don't know the sections of JBoss 7.x.x yet, I did know the sections for tomcat and WebSphere. In either of those environments, enabling the logging would have generated much more output, but it would also have given me more detail in which to more closely identify the actual cause.

  oh by the way,  this application loads just fine under standalone. "Given parent is not an ancestor of this virtual file"   isn't an issue in a standalone environment  (nor was it an issue in JBoss 6 or JBoss 5)

------

  When I can point to a specfic element inside of the 3rd party war file as causing the problem, it will be much easier to get that 3rd party to fix the problem under a support contract.
