Can I simply drop a WAR/JAR/EAR into the deploy directory
Hi,
I'm a Geronimo newbie. I was wondering whether everything would work
ok if I simply drop by WAR/JAR/EAR into Geronimo's deploy directory,
instead of using the Geronimo deploy tool. Will this work?

Thanks

Similarly, is it also possible to drop a Geronimo plan.xml file into
some directory and get things working, instead of deploying it using
the deployer tool? FYI, my geronimo plan.xml (say x-plan.xml) contains
Datasource configuration.
Thanks

You're right that applications that have been hot deployed can't be
redeployed using the deployer tool. But they can be redeployed by
replacing the file in the deploy directory. I think the moral of the
story is to pick the deployment method that best matches your
development and/or maintenance practices and stick to it :-)
There's a bit of doc on hot deploy at:

I believe that you can, but it is not the 'recommended' way of deploying
applications with Geronimo. Someone more experienced with the deployer
who has thought through it more thoroughly than I will have to say why,
but one thing that comes to mind immediately is the ability to
're-deploy' with the tool wouldn't exists if you just drop a file in a
directory.
