Is it war/sar in farm folder must be packed in zip file?

[hkdennis2k]

I am stating moving my program from a single jboss to a cluster envirement. In my first try, it have a error message of FileNotFoundException on the primary machine. But it is exists, just is a folder not a file.

Then I tried to zip the files, and try again.
The error message is disappear, but it is still not deploy to another machine. (I check the /farm/ folder in remote machine, and jmxconsole)

Then, I move the war/sar files from the subfolder to the farm folder.
Finally, it works.


Question 1.
Is it war/sar in farm folder must be packed in zip file?
Cannot use a exploed war/sar file structure??

Question 2.
Are the war/sar files MUST put in the farm folder, and cannot put under the sub folders and hot deploy in recursive way?

Question 3.
Also, I have a question on "deploy-hasingleton".
It is like "farm" folder that can auto deploy to all node in cluster? or I have to do it myself??

Thanks,
Dennis

Also, I found that it stop after copy war files, and leave the rest xml/war/sar.

(It was copy all xml file in the /farm/ folder before I make the war/sar file)
