Oracle Service Bus configuration project deployment problem

Question

I cannot deploy the "OSB30 Book Conf" configuration project to the server. "The specified domain path is not a valid Oracle Service Bus domain" error appears. Where is the domain path specified? Where can I get know which paths are valid Oracle Service Bus domains?
I am using OSB 10.3.1, WebLogic server 10.3, Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 running on RHEL4.
Thank you.

Your first message about "THE SPECIFIED DOMAIN PATH IS NOT A VALID ORACLE SERVICE BUS DOMAIN" is the most annoyingly stupid message and wasted days of my time when I was trying to script the creation of an OSB domain.
The way Workshop decides that a domain is a valid OSB domain or not is by checking the config.xml for the prescense of "lib/kernel.ear" - if that's not EXACTLY like that, that it decides its not a valid domain.
If you look in the config.xml, you must have an entry like
<app-deployment>
<name>XBus Kernel</name>
<target>AdminServer</target>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
<source-path>C:\osb1031\osb_10.3/lib/kernelEar</source-path>
and not something like this
<app-deployment>
<name>XBus Kernel</name>
<target>AdminServer</target>
<module-type>ear</module-type>
<source-path>c:\domains\user_projects\applications\MyESB11g/kernelEar</source-path>
It's all to do with the path you choose for the applications when creating the domain and there's a bug raised for it. Sounds like you're working anyway.
