With JBoss 3.0.x versions I successfully configure the deployment scanner mbean within the jboss-service.xml in order to debug from Eclipse unpacked enterprise application using a configuration like:


./deploy,
C:/eclipse/workspace/interestweb/interest.ear


Now with JBoss 3.2.0 (both Jetty & Tomcat) I can't do the same. I tried different configurations, according to the new syntax, that now requires the 'files:' prefix, as explained within the jboss-service.xml file:


deploy/,
file:/eclipse/workspace/interestweb/interest.ear



deploy/,
file:/c:/eclipse/workspace/interestweb/interest.ear



deploy/,
file:///c:/eclipse/workspace/interestweb/interest.ear


With all the above configurations I get the same exception (see below): it apears that the scanner doesn't find the META-INF/application.xml file.
Are the above configurations wrong ? Is there a bug in the somewere in the 'org.jboss.deployment.scanner.URLDeploymentScanner' class ? Does anyone have the same problem ?

Thanks.

PS: I'm working on Win2k using Sun's JDK 1.4.1_01
