When I build the deployment archive, it is saved it /tmp/ARCHIVE_FILENAME (I'm running on GNU/Linux box) with chmod 444 (rrr-). If I run the glassfish server as a root or as the same user as the maven than there is no problem. But actually I run a Jenkins build task (user: jenkins) and run the server as another user (user: pedro).

In such case, the Arquillian remote tests fail because the Glassfish cannot use the /tmp/ARCHIVE_FILENAME (permission denied). If you change the chmod and give others the write permission - it will work fine.

Aslak suggested avoiding the FileDataBodyPart during deployment.
