I do however need access to the bean manager to use, which I can get from the (Flat)Deployment attachment.

I would rather change BMDDeployer than go down that ugly path you describe in your 2nd post. :-) e.g. Have a list of ControllerContext creators in BMDDeployer, short circuit-ing on 1st return context instance; by default creating KCC. &quot;kabir.khan(a)jboss.com&quot; wrote : | This is done by BootstrapBean.boot() which is called as part of BootstrapBean's start phase.
