Question on JBOSS AS 5.1.0 deployment into /tmp

[benro02]

We're trying to reduce the amount of resources that are consumed by JBOSS server during initialization.  I notice that each time that JBOSS starts, all the war files in our server/default/deploy directory are expanded into directories in server/default/tmp.  This happens every time that JBOSS is started, regardless of whether there have been any updates to the war files.  Is there any way we can tell JBOSS to skip this deployment and reuse the files that were created by the deployment in the previous run of JBOSS?

Thanks, Bob

Why not simply add a rm statement to the run script to remove the tmp (and work) directories before JBoss AS is started?

In production environment you don't redeploy and restart often, so even if this might be a bug its not critical.

I think Peter's workaround should do.
