https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4814 I have the server booting with a conf/jboss-service.xml just including the Log4jService, and all other services moved to a deploy/legacy-conf-service.xml. The only change needed for this was to move the injection of the security mgr service out of the deployer into the deploy/jbossweb.sar. Serveral smoke tests are failing due to jndi issues though, so still need to look into that. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4178949#...
