    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6368?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12446673#action_12446673 ] 

robert lazarski commented on JBAS-6368:
---------------------------------------

I know this is open source, but you've broken the most basic of features - deploying -  that's existed since tomcat 4 until the latest, including at least 4.0.5-5.0.0beta4 of jboss, and haven't documented it. I've searched the jboss 5 docs, read the release notes, and I see no reference to context.xml nor service.xml files. Are you saying I need a compacted sar / war now to use jboss, ie, and can no longer use an expanded war outside the container? Please clarify. If there's some way to define a userland context.xml and keep my open wars outside the container, I'd love to hear it so I can use jboss 5. Otherwise I'm stuck on legacy jboss, as we have a long running production app.
