I see you completely dropped WCLD. Perhaps you could still leave it, and just mention that its sole purpose is to create web/war compatible CLMD. Note: TomcatDeployer is not the last depolyer in this chain. ;-) Check AbstractWarDeployer::deployWebModule, where we create ServiceMetaData, hence making war deployment nothing more than MBean. And this fact can sometimes be 'exploited' to declare dependency on it. ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4177363#...
