So, you're going to have a generic service check every timestamp of, of every file in the deployment context? Still think it would be much simpler if the deployers control this as they know exactly what files to look for and what timestamps of what files to store in the attachment serialization. They would even be able to control whether or not serialization is allowed for that type of deployment. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4002533#...
