In the doman model, the definition can be implied, but can be overrideable by way of explicit configuration.  The service need not exist in reality until it is required by a subsystem (like EJB, JNDI, or JSR-160) *or* user deployment (like a custom user service). -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/545363#545363] Start a new discussion in Management Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
