The RAR deployment is currently going through this flow 1.Jboss5 Deployment will call the org.jboss.resource.deployers.RARParserDeployer which is currently parsing only ra.xml file . This should parse jboss-ra.xml also . 2.The RARParserDeployer makes the ConnectorMetaData available to the org.jboss.resource.deployers.RARDeployer . The deploy(...) method of the RARDeployer creates the ServiceMetaData for org.jboss.resource.deployers.RARDeployment ( Dynamic Mbean) 3.The [2] calls the resourceAdapter = ResourceAdapterFactory.createResourceAdapter(cmd); in the org.jboss.resource.deployers.RARDeployment , this is invoked thorough the startService() 4.The startService() on org.jboss.resource.deployers.RARDeployment will bootstrap the RA. The source code's referenced above are here http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/connector/src/main/org/jboss... The RARParserDeployer is currently implementing the ObjectModelFactoryDeployer . I can see multiple xml parsing done using SchemaResolverDeployer at here http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/jboss-deployers/trunk/dep... Can we do the multiple xml parsing using the ObjectModelFactoryDeployer Or I have to use the SRD ? Are there any test cases which uses OMFD for multiple xml file parsing ?
