I have deployed my application (test.ear) to JBoss by copying test.ear to <jboss_dist>/deploy.

After that, I
1. shut down JBoss and
2. delete test.ear from <jboss_dist>/deploy.
But, when I start JBoss again, I found that test.ear is undeployed!!

How can i keep my deployed test.ear without keeping the test.ear in <jboss_dist>/deploy?
Keeping test.ear in <jboss_dist>/deploy would cause it to be auto-deployed every time JBoss startup. But i don't want this, since my servlets may change the content in the deployed files.
