On 3: if we have a merge method with two jboss views, we can merge jboss view, standard jboss view and annotation view by just doing the motions: JBossMetaData standardJbossXml = unmarshall | JBossMetaData jbossXml = unmarshall | EjbJarMetaData ejbJarXml = unmarshall | if(!ejbJarXml.isMetaDataComplete()) | { | JBossMetaData annotationMetaData = .... (creator something) | merged = Merger.merge(standardJbossXml, annotationMetaData); | } | else | { | merged = standardJbossXml; | } | merged = Merger.merge(merged, ejbJarXml); | merged = Merger.merge(merged, jbossXml); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4097341#...
