I am new to WildFly and I am trying to know more on deployment scanner process.

There are two deployment mode in WildFly auto deploy mode and manual.

If I restart WildFly, my ear files are deploying again. As per WildFly forum it should deploy again if there is a change in file(based on time-stamp).

I am running my WildFly in standalone mode.

When I run the following command:

sh standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0

and its started within 2 minutes. Again if I restart server is taking same time.

It is re-deployed using timestamp only in a running instance. An application needs to be deployed to 'run' thus when the servcer starts it deploys the applications and stops aka undeploys them when it stops.

Whenever you deploy anything on wildfly manually ( I mean using admin console ) , it put a entry in standalone.xml ( or other xml if you configure to use them ). You will find an entry referring to it. With this during next restart it knows what to re-deploy.

In scanner mode , it know location of scanner directory and during startup , it picks content from it.

Now for >>>>> As per WildFly forum it should deploy again if there is a change in file(based on time-stamp).

Ans : If autodeployed is true ; then while server is running and you update any file , it will be picked up and wildfly will re-deploy app.

Hope this helps
