[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-6590) JBoss AS 5 copies exploded ear to tmp directory

[Kenneth Christensen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-6590?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12456058#action_12456058 ] 

Kenneth Christensen commented on JBAS-6590:
-------------------------------------------

BTW: It's really critical for me and my co-workers when we're developing to JBoss AS 5 - I really hope there is a workaround, otherwise we can be forced to go back to JBoss AS 4.2.3.

> 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?
