To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/536275#536275 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I have many pojos that contain a create method and I don't want MC  to call it during deployment. I understand we can use ignore attribute per bean to disable this lifecycle call like <create method="stop" ignored="true"/> but would it possible to ignored all beans under a entire descriptor deployment instead of individual bean?
