You might disable the deployment scanner or use management API to enable/disable the deployment each time.

But this depends on whether you have other applications which need to deploy if you start

Not on top of my head

Within the standalone.xml you have a subsystem deploy-scanner (or similar name) where you can enable or disable it.

An easy way is to start the server and use bin/jboss-cli.sh which start an interactive command line. Here yu have tab completion and a lot of help to find the correct attributes. This might be faster than reading the XSD files

You can disable the default scanner in CLI with the following command.

/subsystem=deployment-scanner/scanner=default:write-attribute(name=scan-enabled, value=false)

Just replace "default" in the path if you have another deployment scanner enabled.
