Can anyone please point me at a solution to the following problem (reply here or email to a.j.beaumont[at]aston.ac.uk):
I have an enterprise application that deploys and runs fine on the Sun Application Server version 9.0
However, when I try to deploy it on Sun Application Server version 9.0 update 1 or any subsequent version, or on glassfish, I get the following error:
Deploying application in domain failed; String index out of range: -4 String index out of range: -4
In the log file I see the following exception:
[#|2008-05-14T11:01:45.725+0100|SEVERE|sun-appserver-pe9.0|javax.enterprise.system.tools.deployment|_ThreadID=17;_ThreadName=Thread-37;_RequestID=ed4272ef-581f-412d-81a6-e325625cf1eb;|Exception occured in J2EEC Phase

What could be causing this exception?
