I was wondering if was a way to andeploy a application and don’t delete the application directory on the server. It’s possible to do that?

Best regards

Marcio,
There doesn’t seem to be, when you use the undeploy feature of the app server itself (I’m assuming Tomcat) it actually deletes the application as well; so Idon’t believe there is any ‘off’ switch that can be thrown.

[Antonio W. Lagnada]

When undeploying from one of the Deploy types selected:
<Custom Location>
<Externally Launched>

The undeploy function DELETES the assigned <Custom Location> and everything underneath.

For example if you’re deploying to a test server and <Custom Location> has been assigned to: C:\jboss\test\deploy\

After undeploying it will remove everything under C:\jboss\test\deploy\ including the deploy folder itself. So if you had other apps deployed on a test server, sayunara.

Try not to use this function and just “drag and drop” from the file system instead.

Just imagine if someone was deploying to the “C:\” drive. It could happen.

Can someone from MyEclipseIDE investigate this and see if there is a smarter way to do this? It is very dangerous to someone who does not know what they’re doing or is using this function for the first time.
