Think about sitting in jbosside with a single jsp or servlet that I want to deploy as a war. I view this as needing to setup a vfs repsentation of a war that is consumed by the structural deployers, and then deployed to the kernel. | I view this as a PREDETERMINED deployment context where you pass in the web metadata (it doesn't even need to be a web.xml file) and the classpath for the servlet (and its supporting classes). i.e. it is an adhoc deployment that does not follow the normal structure. I don't see the need to construct a complicated VFS context when the simple VDF abstraction can already cope with "programmatic structure" and can cope with circumstances where there is no spoon (metadata file). :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3975107#...
