Deployment scanner/folder in JBoss AS7 domain managed mode

Is there a deployment folder where a war can be placed in the master node so that it gets deployed to all the slave nodes in a domain managed setup in JBoss AS7?

I know that we can use the JBoss CLI to deploy to a server group which places the artifact in the JBOSS_HOME/domain/data//content directory.

However I would like to find out if there is a way that it can be placed in a deployments folder under the domain of the master node (e.g. JBOSS_HOME/domain/deployments) that is similar to the one available in the standalone mode (i.e. JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments) so that the deployment scanner picks it up and makes it available to the slave nodes in the domain without the explicit deploy command via CLI.

No, it would be messy to do that. You should use CLI or DMR or the web management console to deploy to server groups. - CoolBeans
What is the best way then to automate deployment to a managed domain setup from a CI tool. How can I upload a deployment artifact to managed setup via Jenkins or AnthillPro for e.g how can I invoke cli through these tools. Is there a http management API like the JMX API in earlier versions to upload artifacts through scripts. - abhishekhp
There is a maven plugin you could use docs.jboss.org/jbossas/7/plugins/maven/latest - James R. Perkins

To summarize the comments above: There is no deployment directory in domain mode.

  • You can use the CLI
  • the web console
  • the maven plugin
  • or create your own deployment manager.

I wrote a, now old, blog post on how to do this on a standalone server, but it could be slightly changed to use on a domain server. Have a look at how it's done with the jboss-as-maven-plugin for an example.
