What I'm asking about is whether the ProfileService is the only source of deployments, or whether the hot deployment service bypasses the ProfileService and uses the MainDeployer directly (as it does today). The latter would effectively eliminate the hot deployment service as usable in prod environments. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3957026#...
