Force rescan for .war deployment.

[dmfarb]

I am having problems deploying .war files on Windows XP and JBoss 4.0.0. Sometimes when I drop a .war file in the deploy directory it works, other times it does not.

Is there a manual rescan command via the JMX console or someplace that will force a rescan of the deploy directory?

I have loked for it, searched for it, but so far, no joy.

You can manually deploy an application (including a war file), by invoking the deploy method on the jboss.system:service=MainDeployer mbean. You can do this through the JMX Console or twiddle. (There are two deploy() methods, you can use either one but the one that takes a String is probably a little simpler. Pass it the full path name of the war file.)

Thanks, that seems to work, although why it doesn't work any longer to just drop the .war in the deploy directory is a question for another day.

Dropping a .ear in the directory works fine...

Well, its all magic anyway. Must be the phase of the moon or something
