1) make sure you have a dynamic web project that you can deploy. 2) launch a new deltacloud instance: on page2, only "Create RSE Connection", do NOT "Create Server Adapter" 3) create a new server adapter in remote mode for the jboss as 6 that runs on your instance: use a bogus "Remote Server Home" 4) Start you server adapter 5) add your web app to your server adapter 6) wait until deploy finishes Result: the server adapter states [Started, Synchronized] Check the error log by choosing "Show in->Server Log": the web app could NOT be deployed since the path to the server home does not exist on the remote host Expected: The server adapter should show the user that the deploy was not successful. The state might have to be [Started, Error] instead of [Stated, Synchronized] or should have some error decoration or something that tells the user that the deploy did not succeed.

When attempting deployment to a remote host, the server adaptor would return a state of synchronization even if deployment failed. This issue has been fixed by ensuring that in the event of an exception, the module's publish state is set to republish and the running state to unknown. If this occurs, the server adaptor will attempt resynchronization.
