Hello - new padawan learner candidate here..

I currently have JBoss Data Virtualization 6.4.0 running on a linux server using standalone.xml, in hopes of migrating off of JBoss SOA 5.3.1 (don't laugh..).

When attempting to deploy and set active a simple VDB (only has a UDF.xmi in it) - I'm getting the following message in the log:

09:38:53,458 INFO  [org.teiid.RUNTIME.VDBLifeCycleListener] (MSC service thread 1-1) TEIID40118 VDB UDF.1 added to the repository
