You could write your own deployer that extends the SARDeployer and uses its own custom package extension say '.xsar' to work around not being able to replace the SARDeployer.
You could also use the JBoss model mbean implementation and provide your own persistence manager implementation to access the config from a database. This is the preferred way to handle this. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Stark Chief Technology Officer JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gavin Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 4:27 PM Subject: [JBoss-user] Customized SARDeployer? > Hi, > I have a requirement that when deploying an MBean (3rd party or in-house) I > need to be able to populate it with information from a database (rather than > just read the defaults from jboss-service.xml). > > I've seen some hints on some other postings (by Bill Bruke) that imply it's > possible to do such a thing with a customized deployer: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg26293.html > > > Besides this, JBoss 3.x has the concept of pluggable deployers.
