DeploymentException: No META-INF/application.xml found

[ankitc]

Hi all,
I am trying to deploy a ear file in JBOSS 3.0 which comes bundled with tomcat 4.03.
I have put my ear file in server->deafult->deploy folder.
Structure of my ear file is
MyEjb.jar
MyWebFile.war
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
META-INT/application.xml

My application uses old xalan and xerces, so I have put Class-Path directive in manifest file.
When I start my Jboss Server It gives me following Exception:

16:29:16,852 ERROR [EARDeployer] Error in init step of ear deployment

Got it.

My DOCTYPE tag didn't have everything that it needed. It required that the DOCTYPE have the "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN" clause. It specificaly checks the file to see if this is there and returns null if it is not.

Sorry to ask but just have to check, you type META-INT/application.xml, this was a type in your post not your ear?
