WRT: - http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4203370#... - http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=149197 How hard would it be to 'move'/impl JBossWeb's TLD lookup based on MC's VDF? My use case for JBossPortal (JBP) would be: 1) recognize that deployment is JBP app 2) add JBP's custom TLD to VFSDeploymentUnit's metadata locations e.g. | VirtualFile customJbpTLDs = VFS.getRoot(".../jboss-portal/config/tlds"); | unit.appendMetaDataLocation(customJbpTLDs); | 3) JBossWeb would understand VDF (VFSDeploymentUnit - VDU) and do a tld lookup based on VDU's metadata locations This would mean if we run in an environment that uses VDF we should first try to look for metadata via VDF only then fall back to plain resources lookup. This way the services that use VDF won't have to introduce hacks to add custom metadata - like JBP does it currently. btw: where exactly does .tld file lookup happen?
