For AS5 CR1 we need jboss-vfs 2.0.0.CR1 (currently at Beta11):
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5276
For this release we need to resolve:
1)The Windows file locking problem
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4310
2) redeployment issues
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4220 - Hot deployment of jars does not always work
related to
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBVFS-7 - JarEntryHandler entryMap is not being
refreshed
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBVFS-2 - VFS caches old jar files
There 2 more issues marked as critical:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBVFS-11 - Validation of paths on case insensative file
systems
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBVFS-26 - optimization (nice to have)
We need to go again through the 13 issue list for VFS 2.0.0.CR1 to leave what can be
realistically implemented until the end of May, and push everything else to a future
release.
Anyone interested in the relative priority of VFS issues, speak up.
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBVFS
There is also the question what we should do with Marko's alternative implementation:
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4147669#...
In my view, unless it is a complete replacement of the existing implementation that we can
test ASAP, we can't rely on it at this point.
Cheers
