URLDeploymentScanner fails to redeploy the unpacked WAR after refreshing its web.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBAS-2600 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-2600 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Deployment services Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.3 SP1 Environment: JBoss 4.0.3 SP1, Windows XP, Java 1.5.0_04 Reporter: Amir Mistric Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis Priority: Minor Fix For: No Release 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.
