I'm not sure if it's possible any other way to pack a folder and all of its subfolders and files into a war file, preserving their path and folder structure, other than using the "prefix" attribute of the zipfileset task. I would like my war file (testproject.war) to have folderx & all its files at its root, so currently I'm using But it's creating a problem when the files are deployed under jboss and my url looks like something like this: http://localhost:8080/testproject/folderx/folderx/images/test.gif As you can see it's repeating the folder name twice.
