Deploy exploded war on apache karaf

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to deploy an exploded war on apache karaf (apache-karaf-2.3.3), by putting the WAR content into a folder with .war extension in the deploy directory. I've found that there are a number of bugs related to this subject:

[1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-1692
[2] https://ops4j1.jira.com/browse/PAXWEB-457 


Jira issue PAXWEB-457 was fixed on version 3.0.0.M2, but I tried to deploy an exploded war on karaf 3.0.0.RC1 which includes Pax Web 3.0.0.M3 and it's not working.

Is there a way to deploy an exploded war on apache karaf 2.3.3? Am I missing any configuration?

Many thanks in advance

 

Same thing here, it's not something we have ever tried, so we cannot comment much!
