The last piece of the legacy conf/jboss-service.xml that needs to be removed in order for the profile bootstrapURI to be dropped along with this service descriptor is the: | <!-- Load all jars from the JBOSS_HOME/server/<config>/lib directory and | the shared JBOSS_HOME/common/lib directory. This can be restricted to | specific jars by specifying them in the archives attribute. | TODO: Move this configuration elsewhere | --> | <classpath codebase="${jboss.server.lib.url}" archives="*"/> | <classpath codebase="${jboss.common.lib.url}" archives="*"/> | I think this sould be part of the profile definition metadata and the current bootstrapURI processing replaced with the setup of a class loader bean deployment. I wanted to look more at the current bootstrap/embedded/shrinkwrap projects to what requirements exist along these lines.
