Subclassed deployers would have called setName in the constructor of the subclass. Now an user who wants to have something like: | <bean name="specialdeployer" class="subclassOfAbsParsDeplWithOut"> | <property name="sec-config.xml" /> | </bean> | will see the IllegalArgumentException because of a setName call when the ctr of "specialdeployer" would have called setName with a standard name of metadata file. Just a doubt. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4219245#... Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&a...
