Improve the "Error: Unable to distribute foo.ear: Cannot deploy the requested application module" message ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-1811 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1811 Project: Geronimo Type: Improvement Security: public (Regular issues) Components: deployment Versions: 1.0 Reporter: John Sisson Assigned to: John Sisson Priority: Trivial Fix For: 1.1 Need to provide more information in the following error message, giving the user a bit more of a hint as to what the problem may be. C:\test>geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT\bin\deploy --user system --password manager deploy jstest.ear jstest.xml Using GERONIMO_BASE: C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT Using GERONIMO_HOME: C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT Using GERONIMO_TMPDIR: C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT\var\temp Using JRE_HOME: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_10 Error: Unable to distribute jstest.ear: Cannot deploy the requested application module (planFile=C:\test\jstest.xml, moduleFile=C:\test\geronimo-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT\var\temp\geronimo-deployer59948.tmpdir\jstest.ear) In the case above it was due to my ear file accidentially having all the files under a directory. I propose we add the following to the end of the message: Check that the module file contains the expected deployment files and directory structure. If problems persist, ensure the appropriate module builder is running. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
