Overview
Exploded deployments are not deployed by default by a WildFly instance. Special configuration or operations need to be performed in order to trigger the deployment. This article explains various methods to trigger an exploded deployment.
If the server is not specifically configured to do exploded deployments, and if the directory has one of the standard JEE extensions (.ear, .war, etc), the application server will not deploy it. However, and this is counterintuitive, if the directory has a non standard extension or no extension at all, the application server will try to deploy it, or deploy something.
