The attacker may have exploited JMX console default configuration vulnerability (JBoss JIRA JBAS-8954). It is a well known vulnerability, so you should be able to find the remedy.

AFAIR up to JBoss v4 you could just copy WARs to the deploy directory and let JBoss autodeploy them. Could it be that somebody were able to copy a file there perhaps over a network share?

Next it was possible to deploy web applications using JBoss Management Console - this is accessible over the network, is it opened on your machine? Did you change default user/password?
