I read through the jBoss how-to on creating plug-ins and suddenly thought: "Wouldn't the autodeployer functionality be a nice thing to extend to any part of the architecture?" What I'm thinking of is an MBean, probably, that can be used to register for events when a particular URL has changed. For autodeploy it would point to the /deploy directory and for a security plugin it could, for example, point to a policy file, and so on. Anywho, it's just my brain doing it's generalization thing again. Tell me to shut up if you don't want it to keep doing it. :) Regards, /Kalle -- Karl-Fredrik Blixt Computer Science Engineer Homepage: http://www-und.ida.liu.se/~karbl058 Telephone: +46-(0)13-17 99 29 Cellular: +46-(0)739-87 11 03 UIN: 4744258 "Consider the situation. There you are, forehead like a set of balconies, worrying about the long-term effects of all this new 'fire' stuff on the environment, you're being chased and eaten by most of the planet's large animals, and suddenly tiny versions of one of the worst of them wanders into the cave and starts to purr." -- Why humans like cats (Terry Pratchett, The Unadulterated Cat)
