Description Borislav Kapukaranov CLA 2012-01-18 03:34:17 EST 
The smallest Nano doesn't have any WAR handling capabilities and WAR files fail to deploy on it. The error says the URL protocol is wrong, but it is just unrecognized.
The error should say WAR files are not supported here and should advice the user to install the GW container with the director if web capabilities are required.

I don't think the error should mention GW as (a) other solutions are possible, such as VJS, and (b) it is not the business of this layer to know about other layers. But if we issue an event log message, this will give us the ability to refer to its number in documentation (e.g. FAQ or User Guide) which can then mention GW.
