    How do I figuure out why my WAR deployment is failing (JBAS018040: Failed to start context)?

      Hi,

       

      I’m using JBoss 7.1.3.AS.  I’m getting this baffling error when I deploy my WAR and I don’t know how to get more information about the error.  The core of the error is “JBAS018040: Failed to start context”.  Below is the complete list of what’s happening in my server log …
