If you pass "true" as the copyContent param, on the server side DeployHandler.handleStream() gets called, which call DeploymentRepository.addDeploymentContent(). Simple enough. The client then calls DeploymentManager.start() which calls DeployHandler.start() which passes the deployment to the MainDeployer. | Yes the spi is a bit confusing, i've also posted about that here: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=149569 I'll see if we can do that for 5.1 and deprecate the old methods.
