[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of POJO Server] - Re: Integrating aop.xml information into metadata view

The MDR was designed to do this kind of processing. For the JNDI example on the mailing list, you just need something that deploys that default JNDIBindingPolicy annotation in the "Server" scope. I'll bet you'll come up with examples where this is not possible, and then I'll have to explain why you're doing it wrong or making overly complicated. ;-) NOTE: I don't really expect that we can fully take advantage the MDR yet, until Kabir has implemented my feature request where AOP domains (and their aop config) are associated with the MDR scopes. e.g. being able to create an AOP domain in the EJB3 subsystem scope that is a parent of all EJB3 deployments and whose AOP config doesn't interfere with other subsystems. This instead of the current ejb3 or jboss messaging aop config hacks (two different solutions) is the more generic solution that can then be used by all subsystems. It's even more generic than that, because you can override the subsystem scope/config with an application level aop domain/config, etc. This also shows that the scoped MDR is not just about annotations, but about generic configuration, e.g. the AOP domain. Have a nice weekend. ;-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4161244#...
