I used to be possible with Jboss 4 to define a custom deploy directory by editing jboss-service.xml and adding something like: <attribute name="URLs"> | deploy/, file:/usr/local/jboss-deploy/ | </attribute> I've tried reading the doco and the wiki, but it doesn't clearly say anywhere how to achieve the same thing in Jboss5. Any idea? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4200855#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
