Created attachment 49507 [details] the e-mail that describes the steps to reproduce
The bug appears to be caused by calling the GF implementation of DeploymentManager.start(TargetModuleID[]). Why is a web app getting archive deployed... the j2eeserver layer assumes that it cannot use directory deployment for when there are multiple targets... Returning a single target in all server configurations will resolve this and maintain functionality.
