I finding that I don't always need to specify a bean name attribute. In fact, in these scenarios, its quite annoying. It would be cool if the name attribute was optional. How hard would it be to add this? Just generate a random name in the default initialization of BeanMetaData and let the container override it if somebody has specified it? And change the schema too? thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4038665#...
