Hi

Currently we deploy using Twiddle with symlinked paths, but have been having trouble with excess Jars in the vfs-nested.tmp folder (a problem associated with deploying files through symlinks).

We are exploring other options for deployment, one of which is the possibility of deploying from http:// URLs.

Are either of the following possible (we would like to avoid hot deploy):

• deploying a kind of manifest file locally that lists the http URLs of .ear/.war files to deploy
• using URLDeploymentScanner, but only on startup, to deploy all files listed in http://server/${jboss.server.name}/

While both of these approaches avoid symlinks, is it logically the same problem with respect to vfs?

Thanks
