Hi Folks,
Im currently using JBoss AS 5.0 Beta3 and Im having a bit of a problem.

I have an ear file and inside the ear file i have a jar file. Inside the jar file in the meta-inf directory i have 2 service descriptor files.(Now maybe you cant do this but i would assume you can). Now when it comes to deployment i get the following exception

15:04:00,052 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Parse: name=vfsfile:/C:/jboss/jboss-5.0.0.Beta3/server/default/deploy/cmds.ear/ state=Not Installed mode=Manual requiredState=Parse

Now it obviously doesnt like 2 service files inside this directory. My question is then is how do i package and deploy my services then?? The 2 services i have are for JBoss Cache, one for a persistent cache and the other not. I would like to keep them packaged together if possible, any work around??

I also seen this http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMICROCONT-184 , maybe its related??.

Cheers,
LL
