The cached metadata context is there for people that want to programmatically construct the contexts and load from something that is slow e.g. If I want to add to the JVM context a metdata loader that loads metadata from a database (or do the same thing to more specific contexts inside a deployer) Nobody is using the cached version at the moment which was why this issue was never very important. ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4162286#...
