Using SAS Digital Marketing 5.41 with JBoss 5.1 is supported with Hot Fix F60008 or later. However, manual updates are required after the initial installation and configuration and after each hot fix application. Attempting to use JBoss 5.1 without these changes results in the middle-tier components failing to start with the following error:

"vfsfile:/C:/jboss-eap-5.1/jboss-as/server/SASServer6/deploy_sas/sdm.war/" is in error due to the following
reason(s): org.xml.sax.SAXException: The content of element type "web-app" must match

To work around this problem, perform the following actions after you run sconfig as part of the installation or hot fix application and before you redeploy the newly configured bess.war and sdm.war files:

1. Unzip the newly created sdm.war and bess.war files.
2. Delete the xml-apis.jar file that is found in the sdm.war and bess.war files.
3. Modify the web.xml file that is associated with the sdm.war file. Locate the folllowing in web.xml:
   <web-app> ... <filter/> <filter-mapping/> <filter/> <filter-mapping/> </web-app>

   Make the following changes so that all the <filter/> elements occur before all the <filter-mapping/> elements:

   <web-app> ... <filter/> <filter/> <filter-mapping/> <filter-mapping/> </web-app>

   Note that this update is NOT required for bess.war.

4. Rezip the files.

Ensure that you deploy the corrected versions of the sdm.war and bess.war files to your JBoss web application server (or servers, in a double bess.war architecture) following your installation or hot fix installation instructions.
