A 500 error means something went wrong on the server. You need to look at the app server console log and to find out what the error is.

Also, please provide the JDK version, JBoss AS version, and operating system type and version.

I have jdk1.5.0_15, jboss-4.2.2.GA,GNU Linux 2.6.20.13-RH220.
The issue seems to be prefixing of CATALINA_HOME/bin to to the file path by jboss plugin. Pls advise

Server output log is pasted below.

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/usr/etc/jboss/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/C:\mysystems-app\collaboration\trunk\mysystems-earapp\target/mysystems-earapp-1.0.ear could not be opened, does it exist?

Look at this file name:

/usr/etc/jboss/jboss-4.2.2.GA/bin/C:\mysystems-app\collaboration\trunk\mysystems-earapp\target/mysystems-earapp-1.0.ear

Notice that a Windows path got appended to a Linux path.

I do not think that the plugin is behaving in the way you want. You think that the plugin will transfer the ear file to the app server and then the app server will deploy it. Instead, what the plugin is doing is passing the path of the ear to the app server, and then the app sever is attempting to deploy the ear based on that path.

Because the path passed to the app server is not recognized as an absolute path (on Linux, absolute paths start with "/"), the app server is appending the path to the working directory, which is jboss_home/bin. Of course, the resulting file does not exists on the file server.

Other people have asked the question "how can I deploy an application to a remote server" in the forums. You might want to look up those discussions.

Hi Peter,

Please find the issue which i m facing in jboss below:

I m trying launch an web application through my local.I have an separate war to generate PDF.When i hit my application and try to create an PDF of the report for my application information,while the action is forwarded from my application war to the PDF generator war i m getting the error:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet livexpactionservlet threw exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException

Due to this everything is failing.I m using jboss.4.0.3

JDK 1.5.0_22

Please let me know how to proceed

[peterj]

The servlet "livexpactionservlet" is not part of Jboss AS. You need to contact the person who wrote that servlet and ask them why it would throw an IllegalStateException.
