[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBAS-2600) URLDeploymentScanner fails to redeploy the unpacked WAR after refreshing its web.xml

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2600?page=all ]

Dimitris Andreadis closed JBAS-2600.
------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: No Release
                       (was: JBossAS-4.0.5.CR1)
       Resolution: Won't Fix

This is just the way it works: the URLs list can point to either some directory whose content is to be scanned, or a packed module.

An upacked module would need to have a trailing slash '/' to indicate it should be treated as a directory, but then the scanner literally thinks it's a directory and scans its content, which is not what we want.

There would be many changes required to handle this special case, for which the workaround is trivial, so it's doesn't worth the effort.

> When specifying a location of an unpacked war directory to scan and deploy, URLDeploymentScanner will not redeploy the web application after I  change its web.xml file.
> The relevant setting in jboss-service.xml (URLDeploymentScanner MBean) is as following
> ---snip---
>       <attribute name="URLs">
>          deploy/,
> 	   file:///C:\projects\myapp.war
>       </attribute>	
> ---snip---
> Note, myapp.war is actually a subdirectory containing explored WAR application.
> However, if I change the URL to include enire projects subdirectory then changing web.cml does redeploy the application. Setting is as following:
> ---snip---
>       <attribute name="URLs">
>          deploy/,
> 	   file:///C:\projects\
>       </attribute>	
> ---snip---
> I may be wrong but changing the web.xml in either scenario should trigger application redeployment.
