Does anyone have any objections to these changes being committed for deployment using JBoss 4.0.x and 4.2.x: - http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1133 Basically additional information is read from the web.xml to cope with exploded deployments that are being deployed a second time. This is not a problem with JBoss 5 so these changes are just required in the integration layer for 4.0.x and 4.2.x. If not I will close the issue as 'Wont Fix'. Regards, Darran Lofthouse.
