The locking semantics on windows are certainly a major problem with the current approaches. So assuming we fixed the access to descriptors, to not hold locks (the correct behavior), delete-undeploy could still fail if there are web requests coming in. Servicing the request requires reading the file, which holds a lock. Granted there is a short lifespan, but all it takes is one happening at the same time to prevent the move. Yeah we want to limit this to be as simple and clean as possible. If we make this more "correct" then we can speed up the scanning time. Part of the reason it ends up with low values is to hide the various race problems. Ultimately though we are limited by what the FS gives us. Another thing AS7 will have is a CLI, which would be more explicit, intuitive, and immediate e.g. "deploy blah.ear, redeploy blah.ear, undeploy blah.ear". This could even have a maven, or ant plugin on it. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/560295#560295] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS7 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
