JBoss deployment failures after server reboots due to missing ojdbc6.jar - deployment

On our development server there are half dozen or so successfully deployed apps.
Every Sunday night, the server (not sure if it is JBoss or the actual server) is restarted. As JBoss tries to redeploy all the apps, one fails and then all are rolled back.
I think what is happening is that one application depends on ojdb6.jar, which is also deployed as an app, but the application is trying to be deployed before JBoss tries to deploy the oracle driver.
I followed this article http://middlewaremagic.com/jboss/?p=350 for installing the driver and followed the "Install as a deployment"
Should I have the server guys as the driver as a module?
Or does the error lye within how my application depends on the db driver?

Jboss AS7 to Wildfly 10 Migration

im trying to migrate JBoss AS7.1 to Wildfly 10, i just followed some threads and i came upon this AS7 to Wildfly 10 guide. Basically it just tells how to migrate server configuration as well as application configuration.
But the problem is, it says to execute ":migrate" function "/subsystem=jacorb:migrate" on jboss cli (Jboss AS7.1 because it says execute on legacy subsystem) but it always throws an error, see below
No handler for migrate at address
Anyone familiar in executing migrate on jboss cli please point me to the right direction
UPDATES
I opted to migrate to wildfly10 from jboss-as7.1 manually (labor intensive, hassle), maybe if i have time to investigate about this i could feedback it there but as of know i time is of the essence and i need to migrate immediately.

Difference between starting an application and starting a managed server in weblogic server?

I wanted to know what is the difference between starting an application and starting a managed server in weblogic server?
I have 5 different applications targeted to one managed server, whenever I make any change to any one application I have to restart the managed server entirely to make the changes to reflect. Why is it not that when I simply start and stop the application alone from Deployments it reflects, why do I need to start the managed server every time?
Restarting the managed server will restart the entire JVM including all installed EAR files. Stopping an application simply puts the application in Admin mode so the application class files are not unloaded.
This following document discusses various methods for redeploying applications in WebLogic based on the scope of the deployment:

deploy a jee6 web application in glassfish v3.1.1

What things have to taken care for deploy a web appl ( war ) in glassfish v3.1.1 ( glassfish-3.1.1-web-windows.exe installer ) , the appl. is developed using netbeans 7.0.1. I am using postgresql database . Developement machine and Production machine is different and is not connected to each other. Any detailed step by step instruction ?
It all depends on what resources your application would need to run successfully on the application server.
e.g. If your application uses container managed persistence then you have to make sure that you create the required JDBC connection pool and resource on the server before you can deploy your application server. If you check the persistence.xml file you will see if your application uses some jta-datasource (the value provided there is actually the JNDI name of the JDBC resource created on the server). Here you might also have to supply the required JDBC driver to the server if it is not package within the application.
What you can do is install the same application server on your local machine and deploy the application there and see if it fails. If it fails then you can check the stacktrace to find out the reason for failure.

How to handle a ear deployment which copies files under the application servers bootstrap folder

Our database drivers are usually copied under <jboss.home>\common\lib folder in JBoss 5.1 and this is quite annoying since if you have to upgrade the driver you will have to re-start the JBoss 5.1 server. How does everyone else handle such situations in a production environment?
Upgrading database drivers is not something you want to do on a running server. Your connection pools will all be using the "old" driver - there's no sensible way to make that switch without a restart.
If downtime is important to you, then you should be using more than one server in a cluster, and perform rolling upgrades/restarts on each one.

Can a deployed JBoss web application simply disappear?

A strange problem occurred yesterday on a production system which has been running fine for weeks on a JBoss 4.2.3 application server: the JAR file containing the web application was no longer in the deployment folder (so the clients could no longer access the application). The server is running on a Windows box.
There was no indication of undeployment in the server logs. Normally JBoss detects if somebody deletes (or moves) a deployed web application file and executes the standard undeployment procedure, so there would be a log entry in this case.
Other web applications on the same system continued to run fine, so it was only this JAR file which simply disappeared.
Has somebody seen a similar problem with web applications on JBoss?
I'd bet my shoes that's not possible to happen spontaneously.
Check your security settings - didn't you leave JMX console accessible? Etc.
