But in this case the context used in JARStructure looks useless to me, since I don't have any access to it from EARStructure code - in EARStructure::scanEar. Unless I access parent context's callbacks. Which is too impl specific - ear contains jars notion. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4169055#...
