Cool. Off the top of my head, defaulting the filter to *.xml might be a good compromise. It seems to me like that would encompass the JBoss config files, standard JEE config files, and also web framework files that do necessitate a restart (Seam's components.xml for instance) while excluding *.jsp, *.xhtml and other non-config files deployed to the WEB-INF folder.
