There's a hot deployment scanner which looks for the last modified time of the deployment archive or the top level deployment descriptor to decide whether the application needs to be redeployed. Are you doing any changes to the files deployed in the deploy folder of JBoss? P.S: You have an option of disabling hot deployment scanner by setting the ScanEnabled to false for the DeploymentScanner MBean in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/< serverName>/conf/jboss-service.xml file: | <!-- A flag to disable the scans --> | <attribute name="ScanEnabled">false</attribute> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4186566#...
