Awaiting eagerly.  :)

Quick feature request for 3.0.

Currently, (the spec and current jboss code) says web modules should be in the
ear.  Jboss allows for this to be unpacked.  And this is great.  However,
there are downsides to even this.

We have a 650 meg website(lots and lots of images).  Putting this into .war,
then into a .ear, which will then just get unpacked, would be insane.  So, we
use unpacked ear support(on 2.4.4).

However, it would be nice if we could specify an external path to a web
module, instead of having to have the web module as a sub-dir of the unpacked
ear.

I'd love to help code this(I started to do what marc did on the 2.4 branch),
but am currently swamped with helping to rewrite a 3 year old website into
J2EE spec.

Given a few pointers, I think this wouldn't be hard to do.  It requires mods
to some dtds(would have to be jboss-specific), then to the deployer(s).

It's been fun watching the last few months.

If you all remember(who doesn't?) I was working on Debian packages of jboss.
I have been keeping those uptodate with 2.4.4, and slowly modifying how they
integrate with Debian.

I have several patches applied locally(several from sourceforge, a few I've
done myself), that I want to send to this list.  All the patches are against
the 2.4 branch, as that is the current stable release.  I've been waiting for
a beta of 3.0 before I start making debs of it.

Here's a list of the patches I have(there are some inter-dependencies in the
patches, and all patch files have a description at the top.  I just won't
paste all that here, to keep this email short).

One neat patch I rather like is the feature-tomcat-setup-ContextManager.  I do
in code what the tomcat server.xml patch does.
