I'm thinking of: | DeploymentContext.getAttachments().addAttachment(key, value, List<VirtualFile> metaSources); | Then, when getAttachment() is called, DC scans and checks to see if that attachment should be killed. Also, there should be additional methods on DeploymentContext: | | getAttachments(); | getManagedObjects(); | | These attachments would actually be serialized with the profile while getTransientAttachments() would not. If i'm being too obvious, then apologies. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4002873#...
