well I have actually implemented it ... but I can't test it. I implemented it
on top of jakarta-tomcat-4.0/service product (basically a daemon/service
runner). However it has issues with the JVM I primarily use (IBMs). And I
can't switch to Suns jdk because I recently updated to a new version of glibc
on linux that breaks Suns JVM (and I don't want to switch back to win32).
I you are willing to be a guinea pig ... errr I mean tester ... I can upload
the classes and tack on a basic script to launch it like this. However I
can't guarentee it works ;)
For a long term solution it would be best to wait for Leos JMX manager to get
a good client (hint hint) and then we could safely and securely manage the
servers that way.

It is about a 20 line change.
Essentially you goto DefaultSarDeployer and remove expand() function and
reimplement
URL[] getClassPath( final File file )
to create URLs of the form
jar:file:/path/to/my.sar!/blocks/foo.bar
rather than
file:/path/to/my/blocks/foo.bar
If it is a feature you want then I will try to do it next time I get the
chance. The main reason I haven't done it is because some server rely on
things being expanded to filesystem and I wasn't sure how to handle this. I
thought about adding an optional ant script to do "install" things or maybe
some other descriptor. Really not sure atm.
Cheers,
Pete
