If you want to deploy the application from a folder other than the deploy folder of JBoss, then you have to edit the jboss-service.xml in %JBOSS_HOME%\server\< serverName>\conf folder as follows: <attribute name="URLs"> | deploy/,file:///C:/test/ | </attribute> What this means is, an application (ex:.war or .ear) placed in the C:\test folder, will be picked up for deployment.
