With this command, ant will use the targets defined in the jboss-build.xml file to build the College Fest application and deploy it to the JBoss server. Take a special look at <target name="deploy" ...>, here is where the jboss-build.xml tell ant where to deploy the WAR file. The following example shows the definitions in the jboss-build.xml file.

The war created by the ant build contains a JBoss specific deployment descriptor, the jboss-web.xml file in the WEB-INF directory of the WAR is shown in the following example.

Last time you built the College Fest sample application it was configured for ant to use the jboss-build.xml file instead of the default build.xml. The following example shows the content of the default build.xml file.
