• When trying to assign a war previously uploaded to the content repository it fails when a server in the server group is running. The error message is as follows:

{"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.unit.\"APP.war\".STRUCTURE" => "WFLYSRV0153: Failed to process phase STRUCTURE of deployment \"APP.war\"
    Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: WFLYSRV0160: Failed to mount deployment content
    Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file"}}

if the server of the server group is stopped and retry, the deployment is correctly assigned and enabled, but the application does not work.

• When the deployment file is uploaded, the file size is smaller than the original file in the /data/content.

Resolution

For previous versions of 7.1.6, as a workaround:

1. Use CLI to deploy the applications.
2. Configure the management console with SSL using Elytron as described in How to secure management interface in JBoss EAP 7.1 with Elytron in domain mode?
