Deployment of War files on Jboss

[grn]

I have a serious problem when deploying war files on JBoss. As JBoss doesnot explode the war files on deployment I am not able to read the XML file stored inside the war file, from my program. The servlet throws exception while accessing the files.
Also in many cases the I have to modify the XML files from my program.

How can we do that??

Now I am working with 2 separate servers- Tomcat for the web tier and JBoss for the EJB tier.

Can I make this to single Ear file and also read the XML form my program.

Is there any method to store XML file in another JBoss directory and access it as the Xml files are large enough to set as environment variables.

I have a Corba Servant which works if I access it by corbaloc.
Currently I am running client and server at the same machine.
xx.xx.xx.xx = my machines ip adress

I registered the Servant at JBoss Naming service and got no errors but one warning at runtime.

When I try to access a Server method at the client the following
Jacorb Traces appears at the Server:

ClientConnectionManager: created new conn to target 0.0.0.0:3528

The Client trace is at this time:

Does anybody know what could be the reason for jacorb to use 0.0.0.0
instead of my machines adress ?

I have a question for you: you certainly must store XML data from EJB into file?
Why you don`t try to send thats data as a String?
For example JSP call EJB home method, which returned a String... After that your JSP can save a String into file and work whis him...

Hi grn,

You can decompress your ear file into a directory containing a whatever.jar and whatever.war directory and load this decompressed directory structure to JBOSS_HOME/server/config/deploy. At least you can with JBoss-3.2.0/Jetty. I'm quite sure you can still do it with the latest JBoss, but won't stake my life on it. That way all files are available for editing. That should help in your case.

Can this be done on 3.2.3 as well. I cannot see and JBOSS_HOME in the server directory.

How I do ? Cause I want to update a report to the webserver for user to view by clicking a link in the webpage.
