[jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] - Deploy webapp in external dir (AS 5.1.0)

Hi, I'd like to try and deploy some of my apps to directories which aren't until the JBOSS_HOME, but I'm not really sure how to do it, and/or if it is possible to do what I want. I found this wiki page: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/Howtodeploymyapplicationinanexternald... however when I try it, I get some errors on startup. Using this approach, the relevant section of my profile.xml looks like this: ${jboss.server.home.url}deploy <!-- Custom deploy folders --> c:/app1 c:/app2 Both c:/app1 and c:/app2 are empty folders (I have also tried placing a .war file in each). However JBoss won't start with this configuration. I think it's expecting more stuff in those folders yes? eg. ejb3-container-jboss-beans.xml hdscanner-jboss-beans.xml hsqldb-ds.xml http-invoker.sar jboss-local-jdbc.rar jboss-xa-jdbc.rar jbossweb.sar jca-jboss-beans.xml jmx-console.war jmx-invoker-service.xml ROOT.war security transaction-jboss-beans.xml HOwever this isn't what I want. What I really want to do is just have 2 apps each in a separate folder. Similar to what you can do by adding this to a standalone tomcat's conf/server.xml: <Host name="app1.local" appBase="webapps" | unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" | xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false"> | <Context path="" docBase="c:/app1"/> | </Host> Is it possible to do this on JBoss 5.1.0, and if so, how?
