JBoss5: Cannot deploy due to java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file

Question

I have a web client and a EJB project, which I created with Eclipse 3.4. When I want to deploy it on Jboss 5.0.1, I receive the error below. I searched a lot but I wasn't able to find a solution to this.

The mentioned ear and war file are both in the deploy directory.

Does anybody have hints?

Solution 1

I got a very similar error and it was due to the number of maximum open files being reached. I started the application after a ulimit -n 8192 and it was able to "unzip" the file.

Solution 2

I've seen this when FTP'ing a file with transfer mode set to ASCII instead of binary.

Solution 3

The problem is most likely in the low level format of the ZIP file, possibly the result of JBoss trying to deploy a partially uploaded archive,

Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
    at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
    at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:203)
    at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:234

If you are uploading to a server over a slow link then try uploading the archive to a directory that JBoss does not monitor then move the archive into the deploy directory. The move will be an atomic operation or at least a lot faster than the upload.

I deploy archives by rsync'ing to ~/deployment-unit/ and then running a remote script over ssh to do the final move into JBoss's deployment directory.

Solution 4

I had the same problem with a "big" EAR deployed via ANT using a copy task. It seems that JBoss was trying to unzip it before it was totally copied. I solved the pb using a move task instead of a copy (taking care that the source folder for the move was on the same disk partition)

Solution 5

I solved this problem by running the server with the same JDK as i used to compile/build the EAR.

Yes, I can open the EAR file. And it shows all the contents :/ But I don't know where the problem arises. The EAR is created by eclipse.

[Eddie]

What do you mean regular files? Do you mean they are uncompressed? Otherwise, yes, a ZIP file is just a regular file.

[andr]

What was the .rar file that caused problems in your case?

[Sam]

Me too. Been suffering same problem and that fixed for me. Thanks man!

[divinedragon]

How did you resolve it then? Did you set the transfer mode to ASCII while transferring or made modification to war file?

[Damo]

@divinedragon set the transfer mode to Binary
