I was thinking that at the moment we are creating the module very late in the the deployment process, which seems unnecessary, as all the information we need to create it is available quite early on in the parse phase. I think it would simplify quite a lot of the code if we changed the deployment order so the module gets created much earlier, and is availible during parsing of EJB components etc. At the moment we seem to have a lot of code that stores information into string representations of a class/method, only to change it into a Class/Method object in a later phase. If this code could just work the the DeploymentReflectionIndex straight away, I think it could result in much cleaner code. Does this seems like a good idea, or or there some drawbacks to this that I am missing? Stuart
