title: Can't deploy Java Melody with my ear-file on WAS8.0
body: <p>I try to use <a href="https://code.google.com/p/javamelody/" rel="nofollow">Java Melody</a> to monitor my application which has to run on a Websphere 8.0 Application server.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the steps described in the <a href="https://code.google.com/p/javamelody/wiki/UserGuideAdvanced#Setup_in_an_ear_file" rel="nofollow">Advanced User Guide</a> 
  The resulting ear can be deployed just fine on a local Glassfish, that I use for development. </p>
  
  <p>But when I deploy it on our WAS I get </p>
  
  <pre><code>WASX7017E: Exception received while running file "/home/wasweb/wastools/deploy.py"; exception information: com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException: com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.AppDeploymentException: com.ibm.ws.management.application.dfltbndngs.BindingError: could not bind resource refs [Root exception is org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.ArchiveWrappedException]
  org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.ArchiveWrappedException: org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.exception.ArchiveWrappedException
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the application does not get deployed/started</p>
  
  <p>Without Java Melody the application deploys just fine. </p>
  
  <p>Since tried to deploy the ear even without the necessary changes to the web.xml basically the only cause I can imagine is either: WAS can't handle the application.xml or it can't handle the melody and jrobin jars in the ear. But I have no idea how to debug this.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers?</p>
