Scanner will use the same
https://community.jboss.org/thread/155937?tstart=0 deployment
API that an external client would use to register the content with the server and deploy
it. Once the content is registered the server will maintain it's own copy in an
internal directory (e.g. server/data/deployments). Scanner will replace the
hot-deploy/foo.war file with a simple marker file hot-deploy/foo.war.deployed.
Would it be a "rename" or would the foo.war.deployed be a completely different
file? From what I understand, I believe it would be a completely different file without
any .war semantics, but just wanted to be sure. Furthermore, where would be original
foo.war be moved to? Are users expected to know where it's moved to? If not, then they
probably will have to maintain a copy of their original deployment somewhere (I know most
of them already do that, but again I just wanted to be clear about the expectations).
Just to be a little more clear about that question - I know that the server will
internally maintain it's own copy in an internal directory (server/data/deployments).
But the part which I wasn't sure was - would that internal copy in
server/data/deployments be an extracted version (like we do in AS6 in server/tmp folder)
or the original version? I assumed it would be an extracted and hence that question on
locating the "original" deployment. (Note that in our current versions of AS
even though we maintain an internal copy of the deployment in tmp folder, we don't
change anything directly in the original copy, which means that the user still has access
to the original unchanged deployment).
