It's this bit in DeployersImpl.getManagedObjects: for (DeployerWrapper deployer : deployers) | { | outputs.addAll(deployer.getOutputs()); | // If the deployer supports ManagedObjectCreator let is augment/modify the managed objects | if(deployer.getManagedObjectCreator() != null) | mocs.add(deployer); | } | // | mgtObjectCreator.build(unit, outputs, managedObjects); Meaning that only the *outputs* of all deployers are scanned. If you just add an attachment with a name, that won't get passed to DefaultManagedObjectCreator.build. So this helps in my deployer: du.addAttachment(uniqueName, bean, BeanMetaData.class); | this.addOutput(uniqueName); Is this the expected behaviour? Even still, I'm not seeing all the ManagedObjects that I'm expecting come through. More tomorrow. S, ALR View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4234031#...
