So we've got a new ManagedObject api from Adrian. The underlying implementation is still being worked on http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/mana... Also I understand that the meta data repository notion continues to be fleshed out: Questions about next steps: 1) Does the additional work on the repository outlined above prevent progress on writing tests for the use cases we're going to need wrt basic DataSource management? I presume that the work remaining would actually prevent the tests from passing, but thats the next step :-). I guess we could stub out aspects of the repository to get the test to pass, but at the moment I'm more interested in the tests being written than having them pass. 2) Should the org.jboss.deployers.spi.management.ManagementView be updated to use the new ManagedObject api? 3) The tests for the DataSource use cases should go in here? http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/trunk/system/src/tests/org/jboss/t... Presumably the idea is that we can create our own mock impls or use the one Adrian has provided: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossas/projects/microcontainer/trunk/mana...
