How to deploy a war file in JBoss AS 7?

Question

I downloaded JBoss Application Server 5 and successfully deployed a war file. I copypasted the Hello.war which has a simple index.jsp file into

\\jboss-5.1.         


        

Answer 1

Actually, for the latest JBOSS 7 AS, we need a .dodeploy marker even for archives. So add a marker to trigger the deployment.

In my case, I added a Hello.war.deployed file in the same directory and then everything worked fine.

Hope this helps someone!
