Deploy web application as a directory

[nickdegraeve]

We're preferring not to pack our web application in a WAR but keep it as a directory. In a standalone Tomcat we just copy the directory in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/

In which directory do we need to copy it in JBoss?

You can place your war as a directory inside the %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deploy directory. Have a look at:

An extract from the link mentioned in the previous post:

To see an example of an exploded deployment, look at deploy/jmx-console.war in the default server configuration.

It worked. Thanks.
