You can either pick-up the WMD we already create and fill it with your info. Or you can have Rails predetermined WMD and then check what exactly we do with merging.

But definitely before WMD get's used in REAL stage. ;-) "BobMcWhirter" wrote : | 3) If I should create a WebMetaData, should I attach it as an attachment to the VFSDeploymentUnit my RailsDeployer is handed? | Yes. But, like I already said, you have different scopes of attachments. Pick the one that suites your purpose best. e.g. predetermined, transient, transient-managed, ...

My jboss-rails.deployer deployer jarfile contains a jruby.jar, which I'd like to be available to anything it deploys. I was hoping I could provide it (and other jars) via the MetaData.
