I don't understand the question? The policy xml should be unmarshalled to an object that implements BeanMetaDataFactory. When the deployment invokes getBeans() that object will create some BeanMetaData for a POJO that knows how to install/uninstall data into the MetaData repository. | public class Policy implements BeanMetaDataFactory | { | public void setScope(ScopeMetaData); | | public void setMappings(Map<String, ValueMetaData>) | | public List<BeanMetaData> getBeanMetaData() | { | // IMPORTANT the Mappings needs to be converted to a MapMetaData | // such that the injections in ValueMetaData work correctly, i.e. dependencies | return buildMetaDataRepositoryInstallerBeanMetaData(); | } | } | | public class MetaDataRepositoryInstaller | { | public void setScope(ScopeMetaData); | | @Inject // If we can assume there be will only one instance? | public void setKernelMetaDataRepository(KernelMetaDataRepository) | | // The MC will resolve the ValueMetaData to objects! | public void setMappings(Map<String, Object>) | | public void start() | { | // Install | } | | public void stop() | { | // Uninstall | } | } | NOTE: I'm not overly impressed by the name "Policy" perhaps <metadata> would be a better name?
