With the current separation of the bootstrap.xml and included descriptors handled by the bootstrap ServerImpl/BasicXMLDeployer, the ProfileServiceBootstrap does not see the bootstrap services and so their managed objects/deployments are not being created. Just making these deployments available to the ProfileServiceBootstrap is not sufficient as the creation of the deployment ManagedObjects relies on the MainDeployer having visibility of the DeploymentContexts. The BasicXMLDeployer.deploymentsByName need to be added to the profile and main deployer as already installed deployments somehow. Looking forward to how the bootstrap services are managed via the profile service requires additional changes as the BasicXMLDeployer is running before the profile service even exists.
