I don't understand the "package files" in "arbitrary directory structure".
Be more explicit give an example layout of the sar file.

You seem to describe the sar as an "encompassing" structure for ear, rar,
jar... closer to the "universal" unit of deployment scott is talking about.
Keep it simple.

Also explain how that includes the "directory" requirement from say JBossMQ
that david was asking for.

|the contained packages will be added to the [appropriate, for right now
|system as in ServiceLibraries] classpath with one classloader (so you can
|deploy/undeploy the sar as a unit, but not the individual contained
|packages).

I agree with this scoping of the class loader.

|If there are no objections I will include this in the round of
|modifications I am working on, that make a local copy of sars before
|unpacking/making classloaders, and share unpacking code with the
|RARDeployer.  I will also take care of converting the existing sars to this
|format and renaming jsrs to sars.

I appreciate you taking the bull by the horn and nailing it down, let's put
an end (== an implmeentation to this discussion)

I am ok with the name.

|Also, a question about j2ee deployment.  (sorry I've only been looking at
|j2ee pfd 3) There are a lot of classpath descriptions in section 8.3.1/2
|etc. referring to using manifest classpath entries to figure out what to
|include in the application classpath.  However, it seems to me that if we
|simply include _all_ packages found in the ear in the application
|classpath, we will be satisfying this requirement without having to look at
|these classpath entries.  Is there a problem with this approach?  Did I
|miss something?

classpath entries are obscure... if we can provide default behavior that is
intuitive then good.

Go ahead,
