anonymous wrote : The ServiceMetaData example does not apply. Each ServiceMetaData instance is associated with a component deployment, a type of DeploymentUnit that has no children. DeploymentUnit component is structurally related to the owning deployment unit (a ServiceDeployment for a ServiceMetaData), and each service is a child component deployment unit with a single ServiceMetaData. Explain this in the context of the Security Deployer. Eg:I have a top level deployment, an ear file. Now how does one create the JaccPolicy service bean (the Security Deployer can create it). But how does it add it to the deployment unit? What really needs to happen here. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3992865#...
