We are running JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA on several Linux servers. We noticed that within the /tmp directory, several sub-directories that contain exploded war files are persisting across container restarts. Every restart of the container redploys our apps and creates new sub-directories. Each sub-directory is given a unique id, e.g., ak1e26-xl39o3-gdxav7ar-1-gdxay8yh-bq. Therefore, multiple copies of the same exploded war are now present on our systems. What is causing this behavior?
Interestingly, the /tmp/deploy folder seems not to be used. It never has any entries after a restart. Wasn't this the directory that should be involved in application deployments?
Help!!
