      Hi,

      I try to deploy an EAR on JBoss AS 5.0.1 but I have the following exception I can't understand :

      10:38:08,918 ERROR [ProfileServiceBootstrap] Failed to load profile:

      My EAR root directory has one WAR module and four EJB3 modules. I also have an EJB module in "lib" directory (t4-core-all-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar) that contains EJB3 session beans (as Seam components), JPA entities and a persistence.xml file. I put this file in lib directory so that the persistence unit can be seen from other modules in the EAR.

      My application.xml file is as following :
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd" version="5">

      Anyone has an idea what happens ?

          I moved persistence.xml file to its own jar file and I have no more problem. Don't understand exactly what happened but now I can deploy the EAR !
