The best description I can give is from the forum.

Basically, I have an EAR that appears to be completely valid, it's 2 war's and 1 ejb module. It's built using web beans. I get the described stack trace when either deploying via the UI or just dropping the EAR file in deploy. However, I get different results. When I drop the ear in and restart, it loads perfectly (my app) but embedded jopr fails.
