That is not a problem - you can have several directories nested within the deploy directory, and apps within those directories. As an example, look at server/xxx/deploy/management. Note that that console SAR application is located within that directory. The only real requirement is that application directory contain a suffix, such as WAR, so that JBossAS will know what type of app it is. For example, this directory path would be acceptable for deploying a web app: server/xxx/deploy/project/site/root.war View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4193072#...
