[jira] Updated: (GERONIMO-1360) Misleading error for missing web deployer

["Aaron Mulder (JIRA)" <de...@geronimo.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1360?page=all ]

Aaron Mulder updated GERONIMO-1360:
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version: 1.1
                     (was: 1.2)
      Assign To: Aaron Mulder
       Priority: Critical  (was: Major)

Maybe the error message needs still more attention, and should present the option that the appropriate deployer is not active (or disabled if you're using the minimal tomcat install)

> I recently experienced trouble deploying an ear file containing a war
> module. After a lot of head scratching (and waste of Aaron's time) I
> discovered that the source of the error was that the jetty-deployer
> wasn't started.
> The error returned by the deployer was "Module was not a war:
> Adventure.war", which didn't help me a lot to say the least.
> The error is printed from EARConfigBuilder.java in module j2ee-builder.
> I'm on the 1.0 candidate build being voted about earlier today. Transcript [1] at
> the bottom of this mail exposes the error.
> I know that I'm partly to blame (the jetty-deployer is active in the
> default configuration), but nonetheless someone might want to create a JIRA?
> Kindly,
