Well, I'm facing the same problem for three days.. look at your classpath for files with .rar extentions or another type of these files, in my case, I remove a .rar file from my classpath and everthing works great.

I've seen nested jars do this too (jar within another jar, or an empty jar). In my case it was a microsoft sql jdbc driver jar. The OP's seems to be TwitterPoCEJB.jar, by looking at the stack trace.

There are a lot of things that can cause this though, as mentioned previously simply a bad zip, etc..

If it is a nested jar problem, you can tell the VFS what locations contain nested jars, although by default the ./deploy directory is one of them, so anything in there should be fine (unless you've got a jboss-{something}.xml explicitly configuring things otherwise).

after configuration I deployed and the problem disappeared - I think it was an issue related to gzip
