Not using a war/ear as in Tomcat.

[peake]

I would like to deploy (loosely speaking) a simple web app that is not much more than a helloworld.jsp. Under Tomcat I can create a context directory, have a WEB-INF empty dir there and a single JSP file in the context dir.
How(if i can) do something similar in JBoss if I don't have a war file?

I know this it not preferred. I'm just trying to learn and this is the first thing I tried that did not work as it did in Tomcat.

Thanks.

Create a xxxx.war directory, put your .jsp in it.

Thanks, that worked.
I did not understand at the time, the the tmp/deploy directory is where wars and ears were deployed to, and that the serever/default/deploy dir would work for me. Basically, I thought everything went from there to the tmp. But now I see that only if it is to 'be' deployed.

Thanks much.
