[jboss-dev] Do all the deployers scan the same service classes ?

Endpoint, as in WS endpoint?
More likely you mean endpoind == deployment (which also includes subdeployments)?

Every deployer checks every depoyment (and subdeployment, ...).
But the idea is to short circuit asap if the deployment is not relevant to the deployer.

Here is my DZone article on VDF / deployers:

Which should give you a quick overview of things.
