This issue blocks an integration of JBoss AS 5 into NetBeans IDE.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. create a simple web application and copy the .war file into the deploy directory (I used the 'default' server)
2. start JBoss server (./run.sh)
3. run the following code from a J2SE application (I added JBoss jars to the classpath):

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try

{ javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.factories.DeploymentFactory df = new org.jboss.deployment.spi.factories.DeploymentFactoryImpl(); javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.DeploymentManager dm; dm = df.getDeploymentManager("http://org.jboss.deployment/jsr88", null, null); javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.Target[] targets = dm.getTargets(); javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.TargetModuleID[] modules; modules = dm.getAvailableModules(javax.enterprise.deploy.shared.ModuleType.WAR, targets); System.out.println(targets.length + " " + targets[0]); System.out.println(modules); }

catch (javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.exceptions.DeploymentManagerCreationException ex) {
} catch (javax.enterprise.deploy.spi.exceptions.TargetException ex) {
}
}
}

The output of System.out.println statements is:
1 org.jboss.deployment.spi.JMXTarget@161d36b
null

I expect the module representing the web application, but null is returned.
