You can add extra deploy directories in jboss-service.xml so you deploy from wherever you want. So, as long as you build into a directory called something.war that is in it's own directory (yourdeploydir) and the structure is the same as you would package into the war. Hot deploy should work fine, just 'touch' the directory to re-deploy (as long as it doesn't try to re-deploy half way through rebuilding). Just add yourdeploydir to the "URLs" attribute in the deployment scanner MBean.You'll find it in server/default/conf/jboss-server.xml (I hope this is clear, it is simple to do) brian... ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
