[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss Microcontainer Development POJO Server] New message: "VFSClassloaderPolicy and VFS3 Mounting"

Mainly, when a VFSClassLoaderPolicy is created outside the deployer framework (ex. JMXKernel), how do we make sure the archives are mounted and who is responsible for their cleanup?  Right now there is a hack that will ensure the archives are mounted, but will leak the reference to the mount.  In this case it seems like the creator of the policy should really be responsible for the handling of the references, and the policy should not be aware.  Any thoughts?

Currently VFSCLPolicy can be created two ways: (a) from deployers (b) from <classloader> element For (a) we should already taken care of its archives via structural deployers. With (b) policy is created via bean which is a Module which creates the policy. So, in that case, I would just add create and destroy methods to this Module bean, where we would mount and unmount via bean's lifecycle callbacks. For any other usage the user should be aware of how to properly use VFS3.
