I'm working on a web project under CVS. We're using an exploded archive so that we can do hot-deploys to a local jBoss. Whenever we want to deploy anything, we use Ant to build and copy files from this folder: C:\cvs\MyWebProject\ to this folder: C:\JBoss_4.2.3.GA\.......\deploy\MyWebProject.war\ This copy step seems like a waste of time seeing as both folders are (practically) identical. Is there any way to tell JBoss to treat "C:\cvs\MyWebProject\" as an exploded war? (Using symlinks / junction points to keep the folders synched seems to work but I'd prefer a simpler solution that the whole team can share ie with config files that can be added to source control) -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/584639#584639] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
