Chapter 3 and JBoss

I was using JBoss before I got the book, and was happily deploying applications with Eclipse and the Lomboz plug-in... working great.

But I wanted to "hand-deploy", as suggested in the book. So I started on that little project. I can put the static page out there and hit it okay, and I've got the WEB-INF folder in the right spot, with the web.xml file in there, but JBoss seems to be ignoring it:

I know I could deploy this with Lomboz, and it would work, but I wondered if anyone knew what JBoss tinkering is required, since it apparently doesn't just find it (yes, I did restart the server, and it still doesn't find it).

By the way, I tried to get to the documentation on the JBoss web site, but after I bared my soul to them, with numerous required fields and marketing questions, it sends me to a blank page if I try to log on to view the doc there. But I'm just whining now ;-). Really, I'd rather just have some wise person here tell me the trick to JBoss hand deployment.

Answering my own question here...

If I put it in a jar file, it found it.
