Just set the ctor on the bean meta data to use the JBossASKernel.AlreadyInstantiated ctor metadata. I think we are doing this elsewhere for the situation you describe. | public static class AlreadyInstantiated extends AbstractConstructorMetaData | { | private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; | | private Object bean; | | public class Factory | { | | public Object create() | { | return bean; | } | } | | public AlreadyInstantiated(Object bean) | { | this.bean = bean; | this.setFactory(new AbstractValueMetaData(new Factory())); | this.setFactoryClass(Factory.class.getName()); | this.setFactoryMethod("create"); | } | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4233735#...
