Although I would personally leave the option to the user whether to disable deep copy of deployments, either globally (system property) or per deployment (e.g. META-INF/jboss-no-deep-copy). On the same topic, I'm not sure if you are aware or if this still holds true. In 4.x we essentially copyied over to tmp/deploy after prefixing some random name all archives from deploy on which we had to point a classloader, because the cl would lock the file and couldn't be deleted until the next restart. Same for any nested archive discovered through the expansion process (e.g. an ejb.jar found inside a zipped or an exploded .ear) So removing those archives from the copy location may not be possible. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/559963#559963] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS7 Development at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
