problem in reloading the exploded war file

[nuwas]

Hi guys i am not able to reload the war after changing time stamp of WEB-INF/web.xml file.here i am using a exploded war file(axis3.war) kept in a user defined loaction,which has been specified in the jboss-service.xml as

<attribute name="URLs">
 deploy/, file:/dev/eclipse/workspace/axis>
</attribute>

and i have got an ANT script to change the time stamp of the WEB-INF/web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="Packaging Generator" default="build">

 <target name="build" description="axis3.war">
 <touch file="axis3.war/WEB-INF/web.xml"/>
 </target>
</project>

i have configured this based on the details which i got it from. http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/DeployTipsAndBuildSampleScripts

please help me to do the hot deployment...

From what i remember, hot deployment is not possible for applications deployed through user defined folder.
