The question was: how I must use Deployer in JBoss5 (6) for sort and filter subdeployments?
Previous post was about sorting.
What exactly do you wanna filter?
In VDF all deployers touch all (sub)deployments.
It's just a matter of how soon you determine that the given (sub)deployment is not relevant for a deployer.
Hence it's up to a deployer to filter/determine what it needs to process.
e.g. some short circuit logic is prefered, so you don't endup processing all deployments only to realize at the end that there is nothing to process
