Which isn't hard to achieve. And your top level dlm:deployment can just take all of them, call getBeans on each of them, add those beans to top list, and you have your custom xml functional as well (+ the new deployer that I'm just about to write). &quot;david.lloyd(a)jboss.com&quot; wrote : | I'm about 95% sure I can get my tags to work inside a "bean:deployment" tag.
