[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4178?page=comments#action_12356993 ] Remy Maucherat commented on JBAS-4178: -------------------------------------- I posted an email on this earlier this month, so I think this issue should be closed: I looked at what it was used for (supporting run-as when running the servlet's init and destroy methods), and there's no easy way to do it without this thing. I said it was unsupported since the impl of this capability hasn't changed since 4.0, I had forgotten it existed, and I am not aware of anyone else using it either. Since it works, I suppose it can be supported again :) It is easy to disable usage of the listener in JBoss, BTW, and IMO it should be removed before performance testing (although the sync/clone is removed - which is good since the listener is there by default -, it will still generate tons of garbage objects which can't really be optimized away). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
