I've recently been trying to implement deploy my application as a war on a JBOSS EAP 6.4 environment after getting it fully functioning on Tomcat, but on JBOSS a malformedurlexception seems to arise whenever my application tries to send a file from the client to the server when doing the RMI calls (specifically rmiio).
My error logs are included below

From looking through other examples, I've noticed that other malformedurlexceptions either consist of no protocol or unknown exception c but the majority of them seem to arise from codebase setting issues, which I don't believe I have. Furthermore, I can't seem to find any mentions of vfs even being used with RMI. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!
You are using vfs: somewhere in a java.rmi.server.codebase setting. You can only use protocols recognized by Java. Codebase URLs are almost invariably HTTP.
