I used the jboss web console http://xxxxx:9990/console/App.html#deployments to successfully deploy my web app. And I can visit the page in this app.

But I can not find my war file under jboss-eap-6.2/standalone/deployments. Where does jboss backend put the war file?

thanks.

Under the base directory of your jboss instance will be /data and /tmp folders corresponding to ${jboss.server.data.dir} and ${jboss.server.tmp.dir}. These folders are created by jboss when it first starts.

The uploaded war is stored in a file called /data/content/ad/xxxxx/content where xxxxx is some temporary directory name.

When JBoss is running the exploded contents of your war will be in the /tmp/vfs/temp/tempxxxxxxx/content-yyyyyyy where xxxxxxx and yyyyyyy are random hex values.

These files are all internal to JBoss. When JBoss is stopped you can safely remove the /tmp folder and on the next startup JBoss will redeploy the war from the uploaded /data file contents - this is controlled by an entry in your configuration.xml file.

If you accidentally remove the /data folder then JBoss will not start. To fix this you need to either start your instance with the --admin-only switch and redeploy your war, or carefully edit your configuration.xml to remove the deployment, and then start JBoss and redeploy your war using the console.
