This is affecting getting hold of runtime beans like the ServerInfo bean that is loaded by the conf/jmx.xml bootstrap piece. So I'm looking at extending the Bootstrap interface to make the start signature: | start(Server server, Map<String, KernelDeployment> serverDeployments) | and then pass this onto the MainDeployer.addDeployment(Deployment) without having these reprocessed. It looks this would require a change in the MainDeployerImpl.addContext(DeploymentContext context, boolean addToDeploy) to look for a DeploymentState.DEPLOYED and simply add it to the deploy list, bypassing the deployers. Does this sound like the best approach? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4187582#...
