Hi,
I created jboss seam project(seam gen) and saw xxx.ear dir under .../deploy dir at the begining. However, I don't see xxx.ear dir anymore and there is xxx.ear file(not folder) instead. (I think this also causing hot deployment failure.) So, no matter what I do, I don't see ear folder anymore.
I didn't really change any config file or setting.
Why does my project stop creating xxx.ear folder under /deploy dir?
What are the differences between xxx.ear file and xxx.ear folder?
thx,

that is exactly why I strongly prefer ear folder instead of ear file. I found out that I had to redeploy every time I changed something during development. Is there anyway that I can change back to ear folder?
I keep getting "....couldn't delete corrupt xxx.ear in .../deploy " error message if I try to redeploy if I place ear folder under deploy dir.
In my development cycles, i think when I wanted to make sure everything was 'fresh' I would delete the data, tmp, work and log directories as well as the deployment file (.war, .ear, etc.) which the app server turned off.
You really should undeploy/redeploy every time you change something in a deployment when you are developing. It sucks and it can be slow, but it just be part of the process. It won't be that way in production.

As far as I know, there are not any differences between using an ear folder (exploded) and an ear file.
In my experiences, I have found that using an exploded deployment makes it harder to hot deploy during development (some files do not get replaced/released by JBOSS on redeploy).
