Avoid Jboss 3.2.3 scanning large subdirectories

[remiserrano]

Hello,

I have a DocDir directory that can be made of a large amount of files.

JBoss scans this directory at each startup and this takes a long time.
Is there a way to tell JBoss not to scan a this directory ?

I Know that there is a way to tell JBoss not to DEPLOY directories or files using the FILTER attribute in jboss-service.xml. But it does not seems to prevent JBoss from SCANNING the given directory.

For instance, I renamed my Doc direcotry "DocDir" to "#DocDir"... but the startup is as slow as before.

Thank you for your help,

Regards,

What makes you thing it's this directory that's holding jboss' startup? Removing it speeds things up? Which part of the boot sequence is affected?

And it doesn't make sense scan a directory which won't have nothing to be deployed..
