How to disable automatic deletion of

[bmahussain]

Hi everybody!!!

I am new to JBoss server. Anybody advice me, how to disable automatic deletion of "tmp/deploy" folder. i.e. when i stop the server, "tmp/deploy" folder deleted automatically. When i restart the server, this folder reconstructed newly.

In other words, whenever i start the server, all my war files are getting deployed on server newly.

Thanks in advance.

Hussain.

That's a temp folder. Any reason why you want that to be available on every restart?

I have config file on my war.Once if it is deployed i will update the config file. when i shutdown the server it deletes tmp/deploy folder.so my updated config file no longer available.

What is the way to keep tmp folder in jboss while restart ?

Any settings can be done to solve the issue in jboss?

Use exploded deployment - then you can edit the config file directly within the exploded directory.

From what i understand, AS-5 recently started temping exploded deployments too http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=151939&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=10 (long thread). That makes things like updating config files in exploded deployment and expecting them to survive a restart, a bit tricky. It would ultimately depend on the user code to correctly update the file in the original deployment and not the temp deployment of the exploded app, to ensure the changes are available after restart.
