Jboss 7 war deployment failed

Question

Jboss 7 war deployment failed and i got the below error message in the log.

ERROR [org.jboss.as.server.deployment.scanner] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS015052: Did not receive a response to the deployment operation within the allowed timeout period [60 seconds]. Check the server configuration file and the server logs to find more about the status of the deployment

I tried restarting the JBoss server, I have never seen this before, it was working fine before. I googled around for solution and cause of this issue but cant find anything really useful, can anyone help please?

Answer 1

Well I tried deleting the log file, it helped at the beginning but then I got the error again. The proper solution is as following:

Go to Jboss_installation_dir\standalone\configuration and find the file standalone.xml. Change the following line:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:deployment-scanner:1.0">
    <deployment-scanner scan-interval="5000" relative-to="jboss.server.base.dir" path="deployments"  />
</subsystem>

into:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:deployment-scanner:1.0">
    <deployment-scanner scan-interval="5000" relative-to="jboss.server.base.dir" path="deployments" deployment-timeout="1000" />
</subsystem>

then it should work fine.

NOTE: This deployment-timeout is in seconds

Answer 2

It was caused by insufficient space on the disk, cleared some unwanted log files and other temp files to fix this issue.

Answer 3

When dealing with JBoss 7 (6.1+ EAP) remember to edit XML settings only when the server is not running - otherwise they will be overwritten and the changes will not take place.

According to the documentation, Deployment-timeout is specified in seconds and Scan-interval time is specified in miliseconds.
