Hi, From what I understand the way deployments work in JBoss AS servers is that the server is started and then deploy() is called with the deployments, is that correct? If so, what do u do when you wanna deploy things that should be deployed before AS is actually started since they affect services loaded on startup? Regards,

No, it doesn't work. The .aop archive always gets deployed *after* the server has finished starting up. > > And what about clicking publish on the archive before the server is > started ? Tried but it does not make a difference.

I suppose there should be an optional possibility of copying file to deploy directory when it's published because that way, startup deployments work. This would be optional and only to be used with certain deployments. > > /max

This is probably because it's deploying into a metadata location in the workspace and that metadata location is only added as a deployable location via JMX after bootup. Interesting. You can still make your server deploy to a specific location inside the automatically-added** location (aka the deploy folder) by opening the Server Editor (double-click the server) and changing the preferences there.
