The Jasper Reports API requires access to the text file definition (jrxml). In order to deploy under jboss, you will need to include the jrxml file like any other text file being deployed (ie your html, jsp, etc), then use something like String dirName = getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); to get the root directory of your application. If you chose to place them in a subfolder (such as reports) you would need to add that to the string above.
