Ales hinted that he doesn't have enough to do and that I should post this here. ;-) Are there any plans to provide a system property that can be used to decide whether to use bootstrap.xml or boostrap-repo.xml? Right now bootstrap.xml is hard-coded and I had to rename the files to use bootstrap-repo.xml. (Also, is it expected that when using boostrap-repo.xml that hot deployment does not work?) On a related note, why is profile-service.xml not called simply profile.xml? The extension -service.xml is usually associated with JMX, but in this case the file is used with the microcontainer. I know that file naming conventions (e.g., *-service.xml) apply only in the deploy directory, and not in conf, but it can be initially confusing.
