When resolving virtual files, the TimedCachePolicy is checked for the
expiration of the corresponding root context. If it is expired, the root is
unpackaged again and tried to be readded into the cache. When updating the
cache, method TimedCachePolicy.peek() is used to find out if the object is
already present. The peek method does not take into account whether the value
is expired or not and the object is never added into the cache (or the cache
entry refreshed like in method TimedCachePolicy.get()). This is repeated over
and over again and the disk gets eventually filled.

The problem can be reproduced for example by deploying an enterprise
application with maven jboss plugin: mvn jboss:deploy. (It uses method deploy
of service jboss.system:service=MainDeployer through jmx-console.)

Here are the corresponding stack trace fragments:

1) Check for the expiration
