[hibernate-dev] Question about Jandex composite indexes passed into via "hibernate.jandex_index" and whether ORM keeps a strong reference to Jandex indexes after deployment...

[Scott Marlow]

Steve,

Wildfly-dev [1] brings up a change expected for WildFly 10, to not 
reference the Jandex indexes after deployment completes.  I'm curious if 
our current/planned ORM 5.0 jandex using code, keeps a reference to the 
passed in "hibernate.jandex_index"?

How how hard would it be for ORM, to only reference the composite Jandex 
index during application deployment time?  Deployment time ends when 
PersistenceProvider.createContainerEntityManagerFactory() returns.
