Are there some ways to achieve this ???
My understanding is that with JBoss as it stands, you can't.
I have a crazy idea though, yet I'm not even sure whether it makes sense or not as I have not tried it before. In theory, because class loading in Java is based on ClassLoader conceptually speaking you can create a custom classloader that does not load the bytecode from physical files (say, instead load the bytecode over the network on initialization). As the classes have been loaded they will reside in the permanent generation of the JVM (in memory anyway, simply speaking) and there ought to be no physical files on the deployment server. So, no one can find the files in the filesystem. This is not difficult, but how to integrate that custom classloader into JBoss may be more tricky and is likely not as simple as changing some mbean descriptors. Therefore, if you have an earnest need you may need to investigate the class loading of JBoss and think along this direction.
Do share with us (I'm particularly interested in hearing this) if you can actually make it work.

apache2::porting
apache_mod_perl-108~358::mod_perl-2.0.7::docs::api::ApacUser:Contributed Peapache_mod_perl-108~358::mod_perl-2.0.7::docs::api::Apache2::porting(3)
NAME
Apache2::porting -- a helper module for mod_perl 1.0 to mod_perl 2.0 porting
Synopsis
# either add at the very beginning of startup.pl
use Apache2::porting;
# or httpd.conf
PerlModule Apache2::porting
# now issue requests and look at the error_log file for hints
Description
"Apache2::porting" helps to port mod_perl 1.0 code to run under mod_perl 2.0. It doesn't provide any back-compatibility functionality,
however it knows to trap methods calls that are no longer in the mod_perl 2.0 API and tell what should be used instead if at all. If you
attempts to use mod_perl 2.0 methods without first loading the modules that contain them, it will tell you which modules you need to load.
Finally if your code tries to load modules that no longer exist in mod_perl 2.0 it'll also tell you what are the modules that should be
used instead.
"Apache2::porting" communicates with users via the error_log file. Everytime it traps a problem, it logs the solution (if it finds one) to
the error log file. If you use this module coupled with "Apache2::Reload" you will be able to port your applications quickly without
needing to restart the server on every modification.
It starts to work only when child process start and doesn't work for the code that gets loaded at the server startup. This limitation is
explained in the Culprits section.
It relies heavily on "ModPerl::MethodLookup". which can also be used manually to lookup things.
Culprits
"Apache2::porting" uses the "UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD" function to provide its functionality. However it seems to be impossible to create
"UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD" at the server startup, Apache segfaults on restart. Therefore it performs the setting of "UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD" only
during the child_init phase, when child processes start. As a result it can't help you with things that get preloaded at the server
startup.
If you know how to resolve this problem, please let us know. To reproduce the problem try to use an earlier phase, e.g.
"PerlPostConfigHandler":
Apache2::ServerUtil->server->push_handlers(PerlPostConfigHandler => &porting_autoload);
META: Though there is a better solution at work, which assigns AUTOLOAD for each class separately, instead of using UNIVERSAL. See the
discussion on the dev list (hint: search the archive for EazyLife)
