How to deploy xxx.war outside $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments deployment?

[ybxiang.china]

Dear guys,

    In jboss 5, we can deploy web application(xxx.war) through <context> element in server.xml:

    <Context docBase="C:\Apps\foo.war" reloadable="true" privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" path="/">

        ...

    </Context>

    I have a simple web application, file.war.

    I want to put it in a special directory instead of $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments.

    How to deploy it into jboss 7?

    Is there a equivalent of <context> in standalone.xml?

    I googled many hours, they told me read:

        http://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/7.0.x/config/

        http://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/7.0.x/config/subsystem.html

        But, I am NOT sure if I can do things correctly.

    Please give me an example(code/xml snippet).

    Thank you very much!

More info.

The web application, file.war, contains MANY BIG STATIC files.

More question: Is it appropriate to deploy it into jboss 7?
