Everything is self contained, thanks to mappings in cf8. Understand that some of our stuff is just deployed as a war but others are not. As an example we have a war for each division of the company some of these contain 900+ individual applications pulling that all out of source control and [re]publishing the war each time 1 of 900 projects is changed is a big pain, conversely thanks to WebSphere we could never deploy even a handful of apps as independent wars thanks to the memory that would be required (we have 17 divisions the smallest division has ~300 applications).

Yep understood, we are sort of source mongers here so speaking that's come to be expected for me.
