When deploying an exploded WAR, JBoss produces a null pointer exception. After some seconds, the WAR will be deployed (a directory will be created) and will function normally.

Error is:

2011-05-26 11:02:10,693 ERROR [org.rhq.plugins.jbossas5.deploy.LocalDeployer] (ResourceContainer.invoker.nonDaemon-16) Error deploying application for request [CreateResourceReport: ResourceType=[ResourceType[id=0, category=Service, name=Web Application (WAR), plugin=JBossAS5]], ResourceKey=[null]].: java.lang.NullPointerException
