The %JBOSS_HOME%\server\default\conf has a jboss-service.xml file. Look at the URLs attribute at the end of that file. If you have a application placed inside the C:\MyJBossApps folder, then the URLs attribute should look like: | <attribute name="URLs"> | deploy/,file:///C:/MyJBossApps/ | </attribute> The server will then scan for all the applications under C:\MyJBossApps folder, for deployment View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4165464#...
