JBOSS scans the deploy directory and deploys every new EAR file it find. However, I want to deploy the EAR file when it is suitable for me and not in the moment I put it in the deploy directory. I know that once the EAR is already there I can deploy and undeploy it, but I don't want it to deploy the EAR file even in the first time. One solution I thought of is to put the ear file in a different directory and tell jboss to deploy the EAR file from a there - Is there a way to do that? Are there any other solutions?
