Ok, I would like some clarification then.
When deploying a web extension component (like a web valve, listener,
etc), I expect right now the user to create a module, then declare that
it will load his component class from the specified module (but without
having to edit the web module to add the newly added module as a
dependency). Is that ok ?
Generally no - the user should never be required to create a static
module (though they should always have that option if they want to) in
order to use deployment features, at least not if we can avoid it. In
this case it might be best to look for the class in the deployment
unless an explicit module name is given.
