I am moving this discussion over from the users forum as suggested: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=94193 I started experimenting with a SubDeployerInterceptor to do this. It works fine up to the point where it tries to invoke the jaxr api. I have wrapped the necessary jaxr calls with another mbean. This mbean works fine in isolation. Basically the system deadlocks. So i assume there is some dependency that has not started yet. Any ideas? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3984671#...
