Yeah, everything is more complicated than "copy to deploy dir". But then people want and need this stuff because of the dependency problems behind it. > Some users might like N*, some might like directories... the system > should be able to handle both... lets not force one or the other. I don't think so. Implement one or the other but supporting both is going to be a nightmare from a maintenance standpoint. Imagine a user using the numbered order in a directory configuration. *shiver* Alternative: make it pluggable and support EITHER the one OR the other but not both. And leave the ability of the user just dropping an arbitrarily named [j|e|w|s]ar file into deploy/ w/o thinking about dependencies. This is still one of my top-10 favorite features from JBoss: just drop the archive into deploy/ and *boom* you're up and running. As Marc points out repeatedly: KISS. Giving a choice of two methods is going to lead into problems sooner or later. My personal vote would be for a "ordered by number" solution as you can quickly see the order of deployment by just typing 'ls' or 'dir' instead of having to watch N separate directories. Let's see how the vote amongst the users at the london training will go.
