I built the following ant-task for deployment based on the jboss deployment docs:

<target name="deploy" depends="jboss.environment, buildwar">
    <!-- Build path for deployed war-file -->
    <property name="deployed.war" value="${jboss.home}/${jboss.deploy.dir}/${war.filename}" />

    <!-- remove current deployed war -->
    <delete file="${deployed.war}.deployed" failonerror="false" />
    <waitfor maxwait="10" maxwaitunit="second">
        <available file="${deployed.war}.undeployed" />
    </waitfor>
    <delete dir="${deployed.war}" />

    <!-- copy war-file -->
    <copy file="${war.filename}" todir="${jboss.home}/${jboss.deploy.dir}" />

    <!-- start deployment -->
    <echo>start deployment ...</echo>
    <touch file="${deployed.war}.dodeploy" />

    <!-- wait for deployment to complete -->
    <waitfor maxwait="10" maxwaitunit="second">
        <available file="${deployed.war}.deployed" />
    </waitfor>
    <echo>deployment ok!</echo>
</target>

${jboss.deploy.dir} is set to standalone/deployments

Read the file  AS standalone deployments README txt   you have two different modes   auto-deploy mode and manual deploy mode for the manual deploy mode you have to placed a marker files as described in the others posts for the autodeploy mode   This is done via the  auto-deploy  attributes on the deployment-scanner element in the standalone xml configuration file    lt deployment-scanner scan-interval  5000  relative-to  jboss server base dir  path  deployments  auto-deploy-zipped  true    auto-deploy-exploded  true     gt

Just copy war file to standalone deployments  folder  it should deploy it automatically  It ll also create your app name deployed file  when your application is deployed  Also be sure that you start server with bin standalone sh script

Actually  for the latest JBOSS 7 AS  we need a  dodeploy marker even for archives  So add a marker to trigger the deployment    In my case  I added a Hello war deployed file in the same directory and then everything worked fine   Hope this helps someone

Can you provide more info on the deployment failure  Is the application s failure to deploy triggering a  war failed marker file    The standalone instance Deployment folder ships with automatic deployment enabled by default  The automatic deployment mode automates the same functionality that you use with the manual mode  by using a series of marker files to indicate both the action and status of deployment to the runtime  For example  you can use the unix linux  touch  command to create a  war dodeploy marker file to tell the runtime to deploy the application    It might be useful to know that there are in total five methods of deploying applications to AS7  I touched on this in another topic here   JBoss AS7   dodeploy files  I tend to use the Management Console for application management  but I know that the Management CLI is very popular among other uses also  Both are separate to the deployment folder processes  See how you go with the other methods to fit your needs    If you search for  deploy  in the Admin Guide  you can see a section on the Deployment Scanner and a more general deployment section  including the CLI   https   docs jboss org author display AS7 Admin Guide

open up console and navigate to bin folder and run   JBOSS HOME bin  gt  stanalone sh   Once it is up and running just copy past your war file in   standalone deployments folder   Thats probably it for jboss 7 1
