if I perform automated installation, the portal.war directory will be generated under /JBOSS_HOME/server/deploy/??
or I have to make a new directory named portal.war , then add files or sub-directories in it?
which one is correct?
deploy the war to the jboss configuraiton you selected (default for example). If this is JBOSS 7 then you need to add a marker file to trigger the deployment (like hello.war.deployed)
For automating you can use a simple ant task
target
you mentioned the war, is it a war file or a directory named portal.war??
portal.war directory puzzled me, it locates in /JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy, where does this directory come from?
auto generated or manually configure?
