Deployment Mechanics

CLI deployment commands operate on artifacts existing in the deployment artifact repository. An artifact must first be stored in repository before it is distributed to server nodes.

Domain-Wide Deployment Artifact Repository

The domain-wide deployment artifact repository is located on the controller host, under $JBOSS_HOME/domain/data/content. The content is maintained in a two-level directory structure named based on the content's hash. The names of the first level directories consist of the first two characters of content hashes. A second-level directory name contains the rest of the hash, and the directory contains the content itself, as a file named "content".

Example:

<domain ...>
  ...
  <deployments>
    ...
    <deployment name="test-servlet.war" runtime-name="test-servlet.war">
      <content sha1="e85e00cddbae1752cb7eaaa73adb1eed09787d70"/>
    </deployment>

  </deployments>
</domain>

$JBOSS_HOME/domain/data/content/<first-two-characters-of-the-hash>/<the-rest-of-the-hash>/content

                                   |
                                   +-- content

Location of the Deployment Artifacts on the File System in Domain Mode

For the location of the domain-wide artifact repository, see Domain-Wide Deployment Artifact Repository section below.

In case of server nodes, copies of the deployment artifacts are pushed by the domain management logic to:

$JBOSS_HOME/domain/data/servers/<server-node-name>/content/<first-two-characters-of-the-hash>/<the-rest-of-the-hash>/content
