Hi,

I'm new on JBoss studio and would like to know how to deploy ear project from IDE to JBoss server.

1.) I have a JBoss EAP 6.1 on my local disk  c:\jbos-eap-6.1\

this is the copy of my production server (it has some jars and ears installed on it). I can see the installed files with JBoss console:

Now.. I have installed JBossStudio and have set up my projects and have set up a server.

From my IDE I now want to deploy the ear file so I go to the project "branch" and on the "mcs-ear-xxxx" I select "Mark as Deployable" right?

The project is then displayed under my JBoss server....

Is this the right approach to deploy EAR files (projects) on EAP?

If now I press stop or undeploy on the mcs-ear.xxxx.ear project I got this response in the console

Now If I try to invoke a webservice which is a part of this project I get:

And this is ok...

Now I have repeated the step like this:

but the web services are not available.. I got the error page..

Do I need to restart the JBoss instance from the "servers" menu? Is this ok?

If I try to restart the server from the menu then...

I got this in the Progress menu...

and

some error logs:

"

12:54:06,866 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.deployment.scanner] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS015014: Re-attempting failed deployment zookeeper.jar

This is likely the result of unzipping an archive directly inside the C:\jboss-eap-6.1\standalone directory, which is a user error. The META-INF directory will not be scanned for deployments, but it is possible that the scanner mayfind other files from the unzipped archive and attempt to deploy them, leading to errors.

"

Now the only solution to restart the server is to manually remove two files from /jboss-eap-6.1/standalone/deploy  folder and restart the JBoss...

I don't know if this approach is right?

For example, If I install all the ears, jars over the management console I got no error.

So my question is why I can't deploy the exact same EAR from JBossStudio to EAP (got error) and why I don't get error if I deploy the same EAR manualy trough Jboss Management console?

Also I'm searching for some tutorial on how to debug a pice of code in JbossDeveloper using Jboss EAP as server..

thank you for any help
