[seam-dev] automatic loading of persistence units in JBoss AS 5

[Ales Justin]

It depends if you need any other metadata file from that META-INF directory.

If no, then simply exclude that META-INF as metadata path.

If yes, I currently cannot see how we can handle that,
unless you remove certain deployer.
How do others handle this?
As this is contradiction, since you expect for all other things to work 
out-of-the-box,
but not this one + you're not willing to change core configuration.
Beats me. :-)
