Bruno, I think it makes sense to add a property to the PropertyManager configuration, which defines which implementation should be returned in the factory. All the other configuration should be added to the deployment-properties.xml, which I think is pretty much what you are going for. I can help you out with when it's integration time. Also by that time we need to refactor it to use the new Courier on the trunk. It supports setting up transports both ways (down and up). Take a look at the JmsCourier for instance. I think the FtpUploader and FtpDownloader fit right in there as an FtpCourier. But this is at a higher level then what you are working on right now, so let's not worry about that just yet. So basically I'm saying nothing but keep up the good work :). --Kurt View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985021#...
