I have been going through the dependency state machine code and found ControllerMode class , I am not able to understand its usage . As of now I can understand is that 1) The POJO defined in the XML is read by the Kernel module of the MC 2) The meta-data is created for the POJO defined in the xml , this is done by the kernel module , the meta-data related classes are in container module 3) This meta-data is then used by the state-machine (dependency) code for installing the POJO ..... I just wanted to make sure that what I understand by reading the wikis and code is correct ? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3975708#...
