moved from jboss-4.0.3 to jboss-5.1.0 where do I put my war files

[Mark Tobin]

In JBoss-4.03 it was easy to deploy a war file

All you did was drop it into C:\jboss\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer

looked at jboss-5.1.0

C:\jboss-5.1.0\server\default\deployers\jbossweb.deployer dropped my war file in there falls over

[Peter Johnson]

WAR files always went into the "deploy" directory (C:\jboss\server\default\deploy\ or C:\jboss-5.1.0\server\default\deploy on your PC). I'm not sure why you placed anything in jboss-web.deployer.

[Mark Tobin]

Thanks again Peter lol I put it in jboss-web.deployer because it was called jboss-web.deployer and I thought that was where you put the war files.
I only started using Jboss this week. And are JBoss guy is on holiday we always before deployer ears but this time I need to deploy a war file.

I am a spring tomcat guy.

Thanks again, that may solve a number of other problems.

The jboss-web.deployer folder containers the deployers which are responsible for deploying .war files. So like Peter said, you shouldn't be changing or adding anything in there (unless you want to configure the deployer).

I put my war file in C:\jboss-5.1.0\server\default\deploy as suggested started Jboss and got a exception

I was able to deply this war file to JBoss-4.0.3 I am only upgrading since JBoss-4.0.3 does not seem to handle annotations @Resource and I was told 5.1.0 will.
