[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Stuart Douglas commented on AS7-4296: ------------------------------------- I have an initial implementation of this feature here: https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/jboss-as/compare/AS7-4296 an example usage through the management API: https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/jboss-as/compare/AS7-4296#diff-35 To use if from the CLI first you add some content to the content repo, then: /deployment-overlay=myoverlay:add /deployment-overlay=myoverlay/content=WEB-INF\/web.xml:add(content=$my_content_hash) (you can of course add multiple content items to the overlay). You then link this overlay to a deployment: /deployment-overlay-link=somelink:add(deployment="test.jar", deployment-overlay="myoverlay") And the files in the overlay will replace / be added to files in the deployment. This is obvious a function that would really benefit from a high level CLI command so this can be done with a single command. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
