The hotdeployment scanner initialization has been moved to deploy/hdscanner-jboss-beans.xml, so it cannot be deploying anything before the deployers are initialized. The profile service that is loaded by default now is the conf/bootstrap/profile-repository.xml. It is doing a rebuild of the structure metadata when it loads admin edits, so that must be causing this. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4193511#...
