Jboss deleted tmp folder each time?

[Matt Herrington]

Hi all,

I'm on Jboss EAP 4.3 and I have my own server with an EAR deployed. The EAR contains multiple WAR files. I notice that each time I start up the server, it explodes the contents to the tmp folder, which is good. Now if I bring down and bring back up Jboss, it first deleted the tmp folder and rebuilds it. My EAR file is fairly large and takes a good 15 minutes to explode. Is there any way to persist the tmp folder between server restarts?

The tmp folder (as the name suggests) is for temporary storage. It gets cleaned up on every restart.
