See Thread at: http://www.techienuggets.com/Detail?tx=11957 Posted on behalf of a User bkucutc In Response To: Hi.., What are the steps when you want to deploy the new war file to the server. Here are the steps I follow : 1. Shutdown the App server 2. Remove the EAR file from deploy folder 3. Go to the tmp folder & remove all the files related to the earlier app 4. Go to the work folder & remove all the files related to the earlier app 5. Deploy the new war file. 6. Start the app server. Are these steps correct. ? If I don't deploy the app as per the steps mentioned above, the App doesn't work fine & throws all kind of exceptions. Our is a linux RH ES , HP bladed env. Also , please let me know if there is any way to do the hot deployment on JBoss. Regards, Praveen
