Hi,

I have created an exploded ear application directory structure, to test jboss deployment. If i put the directory structure in the 'deploy' directory of my server, the application is deployed correctly.

But if I deploy it from another directory (c:/vss/myapp/myapp.ear), I get an error:
org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: No META-INF/application.xml found
I have added the directory in the conf/jboss-service.xml file like this

deploy/, file:/c:/vss/myapp/myapp.ear

I am totally sure the application.xml can be found where it should be (which is confirmed by the correct deployment of the directory from the 'deploy' directory of my server. Still I get this 'application.xml not found' error.

I use JBoss 4.0.2 on windows XP

Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot.
