So thanks for that. Can I configure a particular (controlled-by-domain) server to have a deployments dir? Let's assume the whole pile goes south. Power outage. Long one. So when I turn it back on, do I now have a manual process of re-deploying 40-some wars to their respective servers in server-groups? Or when I turn on each server via domain management, it will re-deploy what it had running last time it was shut down? See, I'm so used to JBoss 4.x and 5.x, and being able to just go look in the deploy dir to see what's there. If the war is in there, it unzips and runs when that particular instance is started. If it ain't there, it doesn't. The domain paradigm, in this regard, is still fuzzy to me. (As I google around, I see I'm not alone.) --------------------------------------------------
