Restarting a webapp via HTMLAdapter (jmx-console) works fine. Restarting a webapp via RMIAdapter, however, produces a lot of errors, mostly javax.management.InstanceAlreadyExistsException. Reading through the sources I could not find any serious differences between the way the HTMLAdapter invokes an operation on the MBean and the way RMIAdaptor does. The provided Ant task (jbossjmx-ant.jar) doesn't work either. Perhaps someone has a good hint or tip for me?

If you try to redeply a webapp via jmx-console in JBoss/Jetty you may get the following error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:javajboss-3.2.1...jbossweb-jetty.sar.webdefault.xml 
is alias of C:javajboss-3.2.1...jbossweb-jetty.sarwebdefault.xml
...

After digging into the sources I possibly found the bug in the toString() method of BadResource.java because the toString() method appends additional information to the original URL. The toString() method, however, is used by WebApplicationContext as the path to webdefault.xml.
I have already posted a mail on the jetty-discuss mailinglist. I will keep you informed about the status ...

I had no clue. Then suddenly a light flashed through my mind: Mozilla has a nice feature called "auto fill forms" ... oh my =)
