You can manually deploy an application (including a war file), by invoking the deploy method on the jboss.system:service=MainDeployer mbean. You can do this through the JMX Console or twiddle. (There are two deploy() methods, you can use either one but the one that takes a String is probably a little simpler. Pass it the full path name of the war file.)
