Re: At wits end with jboss-struts new build system!

Max:

My apologies for not chiming in on this earlier... Have you tried the
"ant war" command to crank out the war file? With the new build system,
no war file is generated until/unless you request one - only the webapp
dir, which is "expanded".

jboss-start simply starts up Jboss, just as a convenience, like
tomcat-start. It doesn't necessarily deploy your app

I think the problem is that most of the Keel developers use Tomcat
initially, and the config to point Tomcat to the webapp directory is
done. I know JBoss can do the same thing, but in the meantime if you
generate your war with "ant war", then just copy it to the deploy
directory in Jboss, that should get you started at least. I'll see if I
can have a look at the deploy scripts to make this more straightforward,
but time is tight for the next couple of weeks...

HTH!
