Heh.  The welcome.jar is born!  Nice.

Sweet!  I apparently had just had a brain fart, as I was like "why
isn't this working?!?!" only to realize when I /really/ looked at it,
I was using context.xml.  D'oh.  Thanks!

I love being able to specify the absolute-ness of the paths!  Better
than some kind of special token to differentiate between file system
roots and deployment-relative.

I'm not sure how I'd leverage this to get what I was talking about
though.  I don't see the sub-deployment elements in the XSD, so I'm
not sure what options there are.  I think I'm looking at domain,
whereas this would be in jboss-deployment-scanner.xsd probably?  Is
there a central place for XSDs?

Maybe some spin on:

<fs-archive path="/some/place/else/images.jar"/>

For something like:

<fs path="/some/place/else/images.jar" contextpath="/images"/>

?

(side note:  I feel silly asking anything, when the source code is
available.  There is no question I can't answer myself.)
(eventually)

:)

Thank you Carlo!
