The only reason for that downcast is to get at "global" resources for the bootstrap context. It is not downcasting to use the object as a deployer.
This is just lazy/bad design on my part. It should really be using injection, i.e. the deployer does the following during deployment deployment.setXXX(...) rather than the deployment lazily doing deployer.getXXX() This would need a hook in SimpleSubDeployerSupport.registerDeployment so each subclass can do the injection after the instantiation of the deployment object. There is already a task to improve this area of the RARDeployer: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBJCA-10 View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3858701#3858701 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3858701 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
