Not hard, just a lot of work as refactorings of AOP would be required. anonymous wrote : The basics are pretty simple, you could replace the "InstantiateAction" | in the MC/JMX with a "DeserializeAction" but then it has still got to go through | configure/create/start to get up-to-date references and do things | like binding its entry point into jndi. The EJB Deployer can do what it already does: instantiate the container itself and install them manually into the kernel. No need for special MC states.
