JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "StructureModificationChecker and Synch with VFS3": http://community.jboss.org/message/518806#518806 Author : John Bailey Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/johnbailey Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- One option for the profile service to guarantee to have a VFS pointer to the original file is to mount the real filesystem pointing to the original file, but using a different VFS mount point.  So if you have an archive like test.jar, you could mount it into a special VFS location managed by the profile service.  This would allow the PS to always have a way to access the original. File test = new File(uriToTestFile); VirtualFile psCopy = VFS.getChild("/profileservice").getChild("test.jar"); VFS.mountReal(test, psCopy);       This would help since there would then be no reason for the VFS or the deployers to try and manage what the original really is. -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/518806#518806
