The final piece of the puzzle is the metadata stack. This is a stack of MetaData maintained by each component as requests come in. You can imagine this as a generilzation of the thread context classloader behavior. The idea is that the contextual MetaData should be able to pass under the wire of user interfaces. Something like: | repository.addStack(myMetaData); | try | { | // do stuff | } | finally | { | repository.popStack(myMetaData); | } | Later somebody can do: | MetaData metaData = repository.peek(); | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3972234#...
