Perhaps an even safer mechanism would be to leave the context in the NOT_YET_INSTALLED state in the root kernel until the describe action dependencies are satisifed. Then promote it to the scoped kernel in the describe action? I'm thinking of the case where the class itself is annotated with the scope. You cannot retrieve the annotation from the class until the classloading dependencies are satisifed. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4015113#...
