    Exploded EAR Deployment Error application.xml not found

      I have been working on an application that involves a HAR and a WAR file. Both of these files deploy and work correctly. I am trying to combine them into one EAR file. Inside my EAR, I have the packaged HAR file and the exploded WAR file. My jboss-app.xml is:

      <jboss-app>
 <module>
 <har>geara.har</har>
 </module>
</jboss-app>


      And my application.xml is 
      <application version="1.4"
 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/application_1_4.xsd">
 <display-name>geara</display-name>
 <module>
 <web>
 <web-uri>geara.war</web-uri>
 <context-root/>
 </web>
 </module>
</application>


      When I try to start the server, I get an error that says "No META-INF/application.xml found". Since I am using an exploded EAR, I can see that the application.xml file is in the META-INF directory. Does anyone know what is causing this problem?

          Is the case of the META-INF folder correct?

            I am testing this on a Windows machine, but yes, META-INF is all capitals.

              I have fixed part of my problem. I was setting the path to my ear file in the jboss-service.xml using file:/gearapalooza.com/deploy/geara.ear Since my EAR file was exploded, the file url should have been file:/gearapalooza.com/deploy/geara.ear/ <- with a trailing slash.

              Now I have another problem. Within my exploded EAR, I have an exploded WAR. I have tried several similar methods to deploy the WAR file, but I keep getting an error of

              ERROR [ContextConfig] Exception fixing docBase: {0}
java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot find the file specified
 at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
 at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)

 at sun.net.www.protocol.jar.URLJarFile.getJarFile(Unknown Source)
 at sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarFileFactory.get(Unknown Source)


              So it is obviously trying to unjar the WAR file. Is there any way to tell it that the WAR file is already exploded?

                I fixed my own problem. In my context.xml file in the WAR file, I had an improper path that was causing the WAR file to not be deployed.
