JBoss AS 7.x
JBoss directory structure has been changed completely compared to earlier versions (for example JBoss 5.x).
Deployment of a JAR, WAR, EAR :
There are two modes in JBoss 7.x
(1) standalone (2) domain
I have deployed some sample jar, war files to
standalone/deployments/ folder and successfully accessed the web pages.
EJB:
JBoss 7.x replaced the JBoss.xml with JBoss-ejb3.xml.
Excerpt from JBoss AS 7.1:
Replace the jboss.xml deployment descriptor file
The
jboss-ejb3.xml deployment descriptor replaces the
jboss.xml deployment descriptor to override and add to the features provided by the Java Enterprise Edition (EE) defined
ejb3-jar.xml deployment descriptor. The new file is incompatible with
jboss.xml, and the jboss.xml is now ignored in deployments.
