    Exploded EAR

      Hi, I'm trying out exploded directories.
      I've used The EJB3Trail.ear, it's working when I deploy it as an ear file.

      Now, when I unzip the ear file to a folder, named c:/EJB3Trail.ear
      I have

      META-INF
 application.xml
beans.jar
web.war


      which looks ok...

      Then, I add c:/EJB3Trail.ear to the jboss-service.xml file under URLs.
      Next, I run jboss, but get this error: 

      17:14:17,568 INFO [EARDeployer] Init J2EE application: file:/C:/EJB3Trail.
ear
17:14:17,578 ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not initialise deployment: file:/C:/EJB3Trail.ear
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No META-INF/application.xml found
 at org.jboss.deployment.EARDeployer.init(EARDeployer.java:133)


      Based on the error message, it seems it can see the c:/EJB3Trail.ear but cannot find the application.xml.
      Please note that the META-INF folder is in all caps, so it should not cause this problem.

      Anyone having the same problem?

          Did you find how to deploy an external exploded aplication?

          Thanks

            It looks like Jboss is looking for /C:/EJB3Trail.ear, not c:/EJB3Trail.ear. The leading '/' may be the issue. If Jboss is starting on the C: drive, then drop the C:, and if that works.... :)

              If you want to deploy the application from a folder other than the deploy folder of JBoss, then you have to edit the jboss-service.xml in %JBOSS_HOME%\server\< serverName>\conf folder as follows:

              <attribute name="URLs">
 deploy/,file:///C:/test/
</attribute>


              What this means is, an application (ex:.war or .ear) placed in the C:\test folder, will be picked up for deployment.
