[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of POJO Server] - all files that make up a deployment unit

I ran into a problem where I only want to scan for .class files in the DeploymentUnit but skip .class files in subdeployments. The current VirtualFile/Visitor code could not handle this situation so I had to extend VisitorAttributes with a isRecurseArchive() option and modify the AbstractVFSContext accordingly. Then, in my EJB Deployer I do: unit.getDeploymentContext().getRoot().visit(FilterOnClassFileAndNoRecurseArchives); I don't know or not if this goes against your abstract notion of things. I'm thinking maybe that DeploymentUnit should have some new methods: VirtualFile getResource(String name); List getResources(); List getResources(VirtualFileFilter); We had this discussion before, but ClassPath just won't cut it as a deployer may or may not want to distinguish between a ClassPath manifest when scanning for deployment resources (i.e. what classes to scan anntotations for).
