          deploy/,/D:/yourDirectory/


          everything deployable in the new directory will be deployed and also hot deployed.

          you can also supply an url.

              send me the URL attribute of your URLDeploymentScanner and the directory where you want to deploy. I'll give you the right synthaxe.

                      Hello,

                       

                      Could you clarify which jboss-service.xml you modify and which nodes of the XML.

                       

                      I can't seem to find the nodes you are mentionning.

                       

                      Regards.
