[jboss-dev] VFS3 (in AS trunk) - Non .jar file handling

[Dimitris Andreadis]

I suppose you could control that from conf/jboss-service.xml?

Still it's a different behavior, as you suggest


<server>

    <!-- Load all jars from the JBOSS_HOME/server/<config>/lib directory and
         the shared JBOSS_HOME/common/lib directory. This can be restricted to
         specific jars by specifying them in the archives attribute.
         TODO: Move this configuration elsewhere
    -->
    <classpath codebase="${jboss.server.lib.url}" archives="*"/>
    <classpath codebase="${jboss.common.lib.url}" archives="*"/>
