I have an EAR which I've been running with JBoss since the 3.0.0 days. After backing off from 3.2.3 to 3.2.1 due to some unrelated problems with Tomcat (3.2.1 is the last release using Jetty), I'm getting the Error Set below if my EAR and service.xml is already in the deploy directory when I start JBoss. If it isn't, and I copy the files to the deploy directory after it's up, there's no problem.

The two files that get copied are the EAR and a jbossmq-WDRequestQueues-service.xml file which defines the message queue used by the MDB. I'm thinking that maybe JBoss is trying to deploy these in the wrong order. When I install the application into a clean server, I'm using an Ant script which copies the service.xml file first, waits a bit, and then copies the EAR. In the error scenario, both files are in the deploy directory at startup.

Thanks for any help....
