I found out while doing the classloader changes that the install action was not unwinding properly if one of the <install/> operations failed. This left the bean in the **ERROR** state but it was still installed in the registry. This was easy to fix. What is not so easy to fix is determining what uninstall operations need to be run to reverse what is already done. The install/uninstall aren't necessarily symmetic. For now, I've done a belt and braces job. I run all the unintalls and ignore any errors. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4123273#...
