Receive "Null Pointer Exception" when deploying WAR via JON CLI script

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I created a script to deploy a new resource (WAR) to my EAP 5.1 server using JON CLI tool.

  • The script runs without error, but the file is not deployed and the agent.log contains the following error

    ERROR [ResourceContainer.invoker.nonDaemon-4] (rhq.plugins.jbossas5.deploy.RemoteDeployer)- Error deploying application for request [CreateResourceReport: ResourceType=[ResourceType[id=0, category=Service, name=Web Application (WAR), plugin=JBossAS5]], ResourceKey=[null]].
