    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6590?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12471994#action_12471994 ] 

Ales Justin commented on JBAS-6590:
-----------------------------------

>> I have confirmed that this is still happening in JBoss AS 5.1.0 GA release. Is there an ETA on when the bug will be fixed? 

Yes, this was already filed under JBDEPLOY-192.
It will be resolved with a new Deployers release.

> I have an explode ear file (directory) - see attached file: ear.jpg
> When I deploy the exploded ear file to JBoss AS 4.2.3 and later want to update a xhtml file in the exploded ear by my ANT script everything works fine (i.e. I can refresh my browser and see the changes without redeployment of the ear or war):
>     <!-- Target: deploy.xhtml.to.jboss -->
>     <target name="deploy.xhtml.to.jboss" description="Deploy xhtml files to JBoss" if="deployed">
>         <copy todir="${jboss.deploy.dir}/${jboss.context.path}/${war.file.name}/xhtml">
>             <fileset dir="${view.dir}/xhtml" includes="**/*"/>
>         </copy>
>     </target>
> Because the exploded ear file is not copied to JBoss tmp dir.
> But JBoss AS 5 always makes a copy of my exploded ear file and copies it to the tmp dir where it's the current 'working copy/version' used by JBoss AS - see attached file: tmp-ear.jpg
> My ANT task will not work anymore because the 'working copy/version' used by JBoss AS now is in the tmp dir and not in the deploy dir.
> I really don't want to 'touch' web.xml (or other meta files) to trigger a full redeployment when I need to make changes to my web files (xhtml, css, javascript, images etc.).
> Could we please have the 'old' behaviour from JBoss AS 4.2.X implemented into JBoss AS 5 - or is there a workaround to above problem?
