Will contents of <deployments> in standalone.xml be modified after an application deployed?

[zhouyaguo]

Hi:

     I'm using jboss-as-7.1.3.Final. After i copy my war into "jboss-as-7.1.3.Final/standalone/deployments" folder and execute "sh standalone.sh" to start server, i can not see any deployment reflection in standalone.xml. Will contents of <deployments> in standalone.xml be modified after an application deployed or undeployed?

Best regards

Without checking I would say it depends on how it is deployed. Stuff that you put in the deployments folder won't have an XML entry but stuff deployed with the cli/maven-plugin etc will have a hash reference to where it was stored.

That's correct - the deployments done via standalone/deployments folder (a.k.a filesystem based deployments) aren't "managed" and their information isn't persisted in the standalone*.xml files.

If you use management operations to deploy the application (for example via CLI or admin GUI) then those deployments are managed and will their information will be stored in the configuration files.
