[jboss-dev] metadata not attached to DeploymentUnit

[Adrian]

To me this is the wrong approach anyway.

There shouldn't be any code that does

if (ejbdeployment)
  doThis();
else if (webdeployment)
  doThat();
else if (unknowntype) // OOPS (pun intended ;-)
  cantDoIt();

The webservice deployers should be working off some generic
metadata that triggers them to operate.

Then each type of deployment can populate that metadata
to say "I want a webservice endpoint for this".

This is a seperate deployer for each type we know how
to map to a webservice it takes the ejb/web/other
metadata and maps or bridges it to the webservice
metadata.

It shouldn't just be restricted to ejbs and wars.

e.g. An MBean should be capable of being an endpoint if
there is a deployer that creates the relevant
metadata attachment from say a META-INF/jboss-webservice.xml in the sar.

The security deployers take the same brain dead
(non object orientated) approach.
