[webbeans-dev] [XML Field Decleration]

[Nicklas Karlsson]

You can get a quick interpretation for me and then wait for a correct one ;-)

> the Web Beans namespace, a DefinitionException is thrown by the Web Bean

>
> <mybean:myField>
>     <value>15</value>
>     <mybean>x.y.x.AnotherBean</mybean>
> </mybean:myField>

I don't see a problem. The problem would be if the <value> wouldn't be
there. The sentence alone would not
forbid multiple <value> fields, either.

Well, I dont see any "one of" so I don't see the contradiction.

This is only my interpretation of the word in the specs, I don't have
any more details.
