From the referenced forum thread:

1) Create a "dodeploy" file.
2) Start AS

Nothing happens. I notice that my dodeploy file name is misspelled. The WAR name is a little long and complicated, so that's not surprising. But I'm annoyed at the fact that I had to type it and now I have to fix it.

1) Fix the file name
2) Start AS

Nothing happens except that I get this warning:

09:08:26,174 WARN [org.jboss.as.deployment] (pool-6-thread-1) Deployment of 'C:\jboss-7.0.0.Beta1\standalone\deployments\mojarra2.0-notbundled.war.dodeploy' requested, but the deployment is not present

But I know the deployment is there! Maybe I should touch the dodeploy. I can't do that from Explorer so I have to open a command prompt. There is no "touch" command on Windows, but luckily I have Cygwin in my path for just such occasions. Woops! I can't touch what isn't there. My dodeploy file is gone!! Where did it go?

Let's take the README a more literally. Instead of creating a dodeploy file and starting the server, let's try starting the server and actually issuing the touch command from the command prompt.

1) Start AS
2) cd to standalone/deployments
3) touch my-long-funky-war-name.war.dodeploy

It finally deploys!!
