When a jboss-ejb-client.xml inside of a deployment that references an outbound-socket that does not exist in the standalone.xml, it logs a cryptic message and does not explain where the issue is. Note when a deployment contains more sub deployements, the log message is much larger and the issue if you know what to look for is hidden in the middle.

15:41:01,189 ERROR [org.jboss.as.server.deployment.scanner] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 2) {"JBAS014653: Composite operation failed and was rolled back. Steps that failed:" => {"Operation step-2" =>

The error message should be translated to say something to the extent of

"Your deployment helloWorld.ear contains a jboss-ejb-client.xml which references an outbound-socket named part101node01 which is not defined in your JBoss profile's remoting subsystem configuration"

jboss.ejb3.dd-based-ejb-client-context.\"helloWorld.ear - this shows that helloWorld.ear is the deployment, jboss.ejb3.dd-based-ejb-client-context seems to the jboss-ejb-client.xml

jboss.remoting.endpoint.subsystem.outbound-connection.part101node01-connection - this shows that the subsystem that is missing the outbound-configuration is the remoting subsystem and that the reference name missing is part101node01
