Thanks for your response. This relates to the other question I posted just
today regarding a weird error:
Error instantiating application at file:/C:/k/wrk/bld/app/my-app.ear:
Invalid principals config URL: principals.xml for my-app
This happens when I try to deploy with principals.xml in my EAR, with
orion-application pointing to it using
<principals path="principals.xml"/>
I've also tried ./principals.xml, /./principals.xml,
/META-INF/principals.xml, etc .... none work properly ( but the META-INF
gives me a slightly different error ...) BUT, when I deploy the application
without the tag or the principals file, and then copy the principals file
into the deployment directory, everything is just great.
Would happen to have any more insight, would you?
