I'm not sure If I understand correctly, but I'll tell you what I use
to Implement exploded ears on jboss. I have a profile in my pom:
<profile>
<id>exploded</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>exploded</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
</activation>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<unpackTypes>ejb,war</unpackTypes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
When you create an ear, maven creates a working directory with all
the files in it in the final state. If you use the profile above, all
you ejb's and wars (you can add other types as well) will be exploded
inside this directory. I then soft-link this directory to the jboss
deploy directory.
If you really want an un-elegant solution you can add to the
configuration the following setting:
<workDirectory>${appserver.deploy.dir}</workDirectory>. you can now
point to whatever directory you want (I'm sure you can reference an
environment variable also).
Hope it helps
Bye
