Redeploy parent application with Enterprise Manager

Question

If I attempt to redeploy a parent application using Enterprise Manager I get the following error:
"Only a single application can be redeployed at a time. Only childless applications can be Redeployed"
I don't understand why I am being prevented from doing something seemingly trivial. Why do I need to go through the process of undeploying all child applications and then deploying them again?

Luis,
If all of the files uploaded piecemeal worked fine, then I believe your problem to be with your deployment descriptor(s). Also, note that the .war file lives in a different directory:
C:\oc4j\j2ee\home\applications\Application-Name
Perhaps if you have time you could post all of the associated deployment descriptor files. Log files from the C:\oc4j\j2ee\home\log\oc4j directory would also help to troubleshoot your deployment issues. You can turn up the logging level to "FINEST" for maximum output to your log file.
