Tanya Ruttenberg [https://community.jboss.org/people/daxxy] created the discussion "target/project.war different from project.war that is Run On Server" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/727819#727819 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have gone back and forth between manually building my project using a Run Configuration and simply deploying my app onto the server using Run As... -> Run On Server.  The latter is easier, you don't have to take that first step of building the war file manually and you don't have to mark the target/project.war as Deployable (for some reason the voice in my brain always says "Mark as Deplorable" , but I digress....) So today I needed to customize the packaging of my app to put persistence.xml into /META-INF rather than in /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF.  Building the war file manually using a Run Configuration produces different results than what I get in the my deployed app.  I assume that what gets deployed uses the pom to build the app, is that true?  What actually happens when you do a Run On Server?  Is it supposed to be different than what you do when you do a "mvn clean package"?   How can I get the result I want in the Run As->Run On Server version? Here are the two structures.  The first is take from my target subdirectory right after mvn clean package and the second is from the deployments directory, which I reached by right-clicking on the deployed app icon and selecting Explore from the context menu.  In the first (correct - manually generated) build,  persistence.xml is in the correct place. In the 2nd build, it appears twice, and this is messing up the deployment. d:\Development2\j2ee6\contacts-as7\target>jar -tf contacts-as7.war META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF icons/ style/ WEB-INF/
