1. Take a fresh WildFly 9 and start the domain mode. 2. Deploy any simple application to it as following: deploy /PATH/TO/example.war --name=example.war --server-groups=main-server-group 3. Check the application is working and accessible and the contetns are present inside the "domain/servers/server-one/data/content" and "domain/servers/server-two/data/content" 4. Now run the following command sequence in batch mode using CLI. batch undeploy example.war --server-groups=main-server-group deploy /PATH/TO/example.war --name=example.war --server-groups=main-server-group run-batch 5. Check the domain.xml file that it has the deployment entry properly inside it. However the Content of this WAR is missing from the server's content directory which "domain/servers/server-one/data/content" and "domain/servers/server-two/data/content", So when attempt to restart the domain next time it leads to the following error: [Host Controller] 10:33:42,387 ERROR [org.jboss.as.controller.management-operation] (Controller Boot Thread ) WFLYCTL0013: Operation ( "add" ) failed - address: ([( "deployment" => "example.war" )]) - failure description: "WFLYDC0058: No deployment content with hash d85f1e3106bc8a49838a0dccae9e80819c25e02c is available in the deployment content repository for deployment 'example.war' . This is a fatal boot error. To correct the problem, either restart with the --admin-only switch set and use the CLI to install the missing content or remove it from the configuration, or remove the deployment from the xml configuraiton file and restart."
