How to deploy a simple war file on JBOSS 7 ?

[redmaverick]

I deployed a simple war file (Hello.war) which contains a simple index.jsp file successfully in JBOSS 5. I simply placed the war file in server\default\deploy

and then went to localhost:8080/Hello/index.jsp and everything was fine.

Similarly, for JBOSS 7, I deployed the war file in standalone standalone\deployments and started \bin\standalone.bat but localhost:8080/Hello/index.jsp does not display the file.

What is the procedure to deploy a simple war file on JBOSS 7?

Are you deploying it in exploded form or in archive form. If you are using exploded form then you will also have to place a Hello.war.dodeploy marker file in JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments to trigger the deployment. If it's in archive form, then just placing it in JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments should work.

What does the console log show when you start the server with your application?

Hi Jai!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.

I am deploying it in the archive form. I just placed it in the standalone/deployments folder.

The server is running fine but localhost:8080/Hello/index.jsp is not working.

This is the console log:

Looks like 7.0.0.Final expects a .dodeploy marker even for archives. I didn't really remember that was the case. Add a marker to trigger the deployment. Or use the latest AS7 nightly build http://community.jboss.org/thread/167590 which doesn't require marker files for archives.

Change the value of the auto-deploy-zipped attribute

I added the marker and it works just fine. Thanks for the help
