Deploy without ear/war ???

[amith_pj]

Hi,
How to deploy an application without creating ear/war files ???

In Tomcat, it is very simple, i place the application in Tomcat_Home/webapps . How to do the same in Jboss ?

I want to do this, because everytime i make some changes to my java/jsp files, i have to create a war, then a ear and then copy that ear into some folder of jboss, all this takes lot of time.

Please help.
Thanks !!

1. mkdirs my.war/WEB-INF/classes
2. edit my.war/WEB-INF/web.xml as needed. If there are no servlets, just use:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>
</web-app>

3. Put classes under my.war/WEB-INF/classes
4. Edit jsps under my.war/

Hi,
Thanks a lot, your suggestion worked.

One more question, what about META-INF\application.xml ???? Where should i place it now ??

What if i want to give a short name for my application with the help of

<context-root>/abc</context-root>

in my application.xml

Thanks !!!!

Name your war abc.war then, or use a WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml:
