Is it possible to move ear file outside jboss?

[drmack]

Hi there,
I would like to find out the official answer if it is possible to move an ear file or an exploded ear directory outside JBoss and have JBoss point to that directory whenever it receives a request or an ejb call? I do know that it is possible to have Tomcat point a webapp outside its own running directory but I am wondering if it can be done with an ear file/directory with JBoss? Thanks

You can add a separate directory for the scanner to look at, in addition to deploy/ (or even instead of). Look at end of conf/jboss-service.xml. Comments in there are pretty descriptive.

Hi mike,
Thanks for you input :D. I have actually managed to deploy an ear file successfully but the problem is when i try to access the web app thru http://localhost:8080/webapp/index.jsp, i got a error output on the console:
16:10:33,421 INFO [Engine] StandardHost[localhost]: MAPPING configuration error for request URI /deploy/webapp/index.jsp

How do I do the mapping then?
