If you need to deploy extra descriptors and stuff, the game is lost. | Sure, but how else are you gonna know, if we need to scan or not? Or what/where to scan? e.g. afaik EJB3 deployments don't need any descriptors any more It's the job of container to pick up EJB3 @annotations, hence you need to scan it all. Unless user provides more detailed info about what/where to scan. e.g. only scan my-ejbs.jar's org.acme.foo.ejbs package But as you can see, I added ListDeploymentUnitFilter to scaning deployer (FilteredAnnotationEnvironmentDeployer), so you're free to add any constraints to that chain. ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4192702#...
