JBoss 7 as deploys automatically - jboss

I put my jboss on the linux server, exported the war file and placed it on the deployments folder and it automatically deployed. I didn't even had to do it via command line. How is this working?
My jboss has ssl to it.

From the Application Deployment documentation:
The standalone/deployments directory in the JBoss Application Server 7 distribution is the location end users can place their deployment content (e.g. war, ear, jar, sar files) to have it automically deployed into the server runtime.
So, if you put a war file in standalone/deployments, JBoss will detect it and act as if you had manually deployed it. The documentation page has a lot more info about configuration if you want to change the defaults.

How to deploy two war files onto Jboss 6.4.0

I have two war files msg-producer and msg-consumer. How to deploy these two war files onto jboss 6.4.0 simultaneously?
currently deploying one war file like this:
copy war file into EAP\standalone\deployments folder
Run standalone.bat from EAP-6.4.0\bin.
Yes, you can deploy two or multiple WAR files into EAP\standalone\deployments folder.
Each web application will have a different context root, using context root you can access the application.
Yes, You can deploy two or more WAR/EAR files in the JBoss Application server.
Please go through the $JBOSS_ROOT/standalone/deployments/README.txt
There are two different modes 1. auto-deploy mode and 2. manual deploy mode
Manual deployment relies on a system of marker
files, with the user's addition or removal of a marker file serving as a sort
of command telling the scanner to deploy, undeploy or redeploy content.
Auto-deploy mode: The scanner will directly monitor the deployment content,
automatically deploying new content and redeploying content whose timestamp
has changed.
Read the README.txt for more details.
The simplest way I recommend is
Login the JBoss admin console
Under deployments tab, click on "add" and select the required msg-producer and msg-consumer war files. "Enable" checkbox to be selected.
Access the application http://localhost(or_servername):8080/contextroot/

Deploy zipped EAR to Wildfly via scp

I am (finally) upgrading from JBoss5.1 to Wildfly 9.0.2.Final (standalone). I am trying to learn how to redeploy a zipped EAR via scp, hoping to have it picked up by the deployment scanner. Per the documentation, all I have to do is set auto-deploy-zipped="true" in standalone.xml (in the deployment descriptor), then copy the .ear into the deployments folder. However, when I do so the scanner places a 'failed' file in the deployments folder with this message:
"There is already a deployment called EAR with the same runtime name EAR.ear"
It sounds like it will not automatically redeploy. I tried adding a signal file named Ear.ear.dodeploy to deployments, but this made no change.
I am able to deploy the EAR via the administration console, but I'm hoping to 'save time' with this scp approach. Hasn't saved time yet! :)
Thanks for any help.

I figured this out. It turns out that the auto-deploy scheme won't work if you originally deployed the .ear via the administration console. The fix was simply to remove the .ear via the administration console, then take the steps indicated above. Now it deploys and redeploys as expected.

How to employe auto-deployment?

I'm working on a WLS 12.1c locally installed application server (on a VM instance). I deployed apps with the help of the WLS web console. Selecting "install" and selecting the path of the EAR file I wish to deploy. Fine. Works.
However, I wish that the ear is picked up from this same place every time it changes. Otherwise I have to "Delete" the deployment package, restart the server and "install" the EAR again. Too much hassle.
How do I activate auto-deployment?
thanks
If you're in a development setting, you might want to use auto-deployment instead:
Development mode enables a WebLogic Server instance to automatically deploy and update applications that are in the domain_name/autodeploy directory (where domain_name is the name of a WebLogic Server domain).
Note that your Weblogic Server MUST be running in development mode.
Once you add your EAR to domain_name/autodeploy/, from there on out, it will automatically picks up changes to the files in that directory:
To auto-deploy an archived application, copy its archive file to the /autodeploy directory. WebLogic Server automatically sets the application's deployment mode to stage mode.
A deployment unit that was auto-deployed can be dynamically redeployed while the server is running. To dynamically redeploy, copy the new version of the archive file over the existing file in the /autodeploy directory.

How to run .ear file in JBoss 6?

I have created myProj.ear file and copied it into the deploy folder of the JBoss server.. How to run my project after starting the jBoss server?
I have been using war file and
deploying it in Tomcat till now to run
my project.... I am having a new
requirement to run the project in
JBoss. So, I converted my war file
into an ear file using the command Jar
-cvf myProj.ear ., Should I change anything in my project to run
the application in JBoss or just
copying my .ear file in to the jBoss
deploy folder is enough?
JBoss normally support hot deployment - meaning that if your application was deployed correctly (watch the console), it can be accessed via the browser (if you have a UI) or via web services, managed beans or any other interface you have provided.You can see the status of your application on the JBoss Admin Console. You can reach it by typing the URL of your JBoss installation. If you run your vanilla JBoss locally, you should be able to find the console under http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console
To reiterate: there is no explicit startup necessary, JBoss handles it for you.
Deploying an application in JBoss is pretty straightforward. You just have to copy the EAR file to the deploy directory in the 'server configuration' directory of your choice. Most people deploy it to the 'default' configuration, by copying the EAR file to the JBOSS_DIR/jboss-as/server/default/deploy directory.
Once copied, just run run.sh from bin, you can use the following params to bind it to an ip (-b) or binding it to anything other port (-Djboss.service.binding.set)
./run.sh -b 9.xxx.xxx.xxx -Djboss.service.binding.set=ports-01
Once you run it, Look at the console for error message. If everything goes fine you'd see "Started J2EE application" after couple of seconds.
If there are any errors or exceptions, make a note of the error message. Check that the EAR is complete and inspect the WAR file and the EJB jar files to make sure they contain all the necessary components (classes, descriptors,
jboss-deployment-structure.xml etc.).
You can safely redeploy the application if it is already deployed. To undeploy it you just have to remove the archive from the deploy directory. There’s no need to restart the server in either case. If everything seems to have gone OK, then point your browser at the application URL.

How to deploy EAR into web configuration in JBoss?

We use "web" configuration of JBoss.
Now we deploy war files only.
But we are going to deploy ear to JBoss.
As far as I can see it is impossible to deploy ear on web configuration because there is no ear deployer in web configuration.
Will it be enough just to copy file default\deployers\ear-deployer-jboss-beans.xml to web\deployers directory?
Or some additional files should be copied too?
Instead of starting with the web configuration I will suggest to use the "default" configuration and trim it. For example, remove JMS.
