LiveRebel questions - jboss5.x

I'm testing liverebel and I notices some strange behaviour :
My environment
1.) liverebel admin running on my local windows machine
2.) remote server linux CentOS with jboss5 server with liverebel agent
Questions:
1.) when I deploy the ear the name off the actual deployed ear on server changes to ROOT.ear...is that a normal behaviour?
2.) I have not fount any settings to change the behaviour in point 1...how could this be controlled?

I'm a LiveRebel product engineer, hope this helps.
This is expected behavior and there are no means to change it. Archive is renamed on deployment to root context path, because some app servers actually require it to have a special name.
However, I think it should only be done in the case of a WAR. This is something that we could look into.

Why Eclipse p2site is asking for credentials?

I have a p2site hosted on my server to provide Eclipse Update Site. The server is running an IIS 7.5
I have the same p2site content stored and provided both in my production environment and in my staging environment (two separate servers, with identical characteristics).
From a couple of days, if I connect with my staging environment p2site from an Eclipse Indigo instance, I'm required to enter credentials, which has never happened before.
Moreover, if I manually download the zip archive and install my plugin from this local archive, I'm asked the credentials too.
I can guess, but I'm not sure, that the problem can be related to the following: in the last days we have added HTTPS enablement for our web site, and installed our certificate in the root certificates of Windows Server 2008 R2.
Anyone knows why Eclipse (Indigo, haven't tested the other platforms yet) is behaving in this way?
And how can I prepare my local zip archive / p2site to overcome this issue?
Thank you very much

Just for the sake of completeness, I found the solution on my own: the problem was that for some reasons (that I cannot still recognize...) there was a DENY rule in the .NetAuthorization section for the verbs OPTION,HEAD.
It seems that Eclipse send exactly these kind of requests when looking for p2site and so these requests were rejected and Eclipse was asking for credentials for these requests.
Hope is can be useful in the future for other people.

Difference between jboss 6 and jboss 7 standalone server?

I was using Jboss 6 . I am wondering to see jboss 7 which does not have many folders that jboss 6 had. It will be helpful if someone explains the difference between the jboss 7 stand alone server and the previous versions.
AS7 is different in a lot of respects to its predecessors AS6,5. So it wont be possible to list down all the differences here.
to list supported technology related differences, refer to below table.
Some Major Differences: (Thanks for #Jyore for additions)
Modular (on-demand) class-loading
Addition of domain managed nodes (multiple JVM management)
All configuration is done in Standalone.xml for standalone mode and domain.xml for domain mode.
About the new DIRECTORY Structure
configuration : Configuration files for the standalone server that runs off of this installation. All configuration information for the running server is located here and is the single place for configuration modifications for the standalone server.
data :Persistent information written by the server to survive a restart of the server
deployments: End user deployment content can be placed in this directory for automatic detection and deployment of that content into the server's runtime.
NOTE: The server's management API is recommended for installing deployment content. File system based deployment scanning capabilities remain for developer convenience.
lib/ext : Location for installed library jars referenced by applications using the Extension-List mechanism
log : standalone server log files
tmp : location for temporary files written by the server
Apart from that I really dont want to duplicate information on web
There is a migration guide from AS5,AS6 to AS7. This can help you understand what are the config changes that are generally required to switch to AS7. it also points out what has significantly changed, highly recommend going through it.
Also You can read Getting Started with AS7, to know AS7 better

How to deploy a project developed in Tapestry5?

I have just completed a project as part of a college degree.
However I would like to deploy the project and make it live.
I am unsure of how to do this as I have never done it before?
I know I need to buy a domain name and some server space to host the project.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great?
Thanks in advance!
There are a few inexpensive hosting options such as Slicehost or Linode that will let you run Tomcat, Jetty, or whatever servlet container you choose. You may be able to find an even cheaper solution by looking for hosting providers that run Tomcat but you won't have as much control. So, for example, you could get the cheapest Slicehost account which gives you full access to your own server. Install Tomcat, a database if necessary, and deploy your war. At that point you'll be running with an IP address. Register a domain name and point the name servers to the Slicehost name servers and you'll be 'live'. You may want to run Apache in front of Tomcat and you should probably learn about securing your server (Shorewall is one option), but this should get you started.

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.

Click once deployment to a ISP hosted Server (ISP is Lunarpages in this case)

I know this has some crossover to Serverfault.com but the advice on meta.stackoverflow was to ask it here (first) as it requires a .NET dev to answer more than likely.
I am having some problems publishing to my website a Click Once App, I am getting an error message saying (something like) IIS not running, I'm not currently at home to give an exact error message, i'll edit later if it is required to answer this question.
My ISP is lunarpages the plan I am on is this one IIS is definitely running as I have BlogEngine.NET running just fine. Anyone know what is required configuration wise (both server and client) to make this work?
The files that the ClickOnce publish create can be run on just about any web environment (include Apache/Linux.) It simply generates an html page along with the application manifest and your application files. Maybe you can deploy to a local folder and upload the files to the server?
