Let's take the README a more literally.  Instead of creating a dodeploy file and starting the server, let's try starting the server and actually issuing the touch command from the command prompt. 1) Start AS 2) cd to standalone/deployments 3) touch my-long-funky-war-name.war.dodeploy It finally deploys!!
