[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-7489) Consolidated application configuration

Consolidated application configuration -------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-7489 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7489 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Pete Muir Provide a consolidated application (not JBoss AS) configuration file. This addresses "ease of use" by not requiring a user to understand which configuration elements go in which file (and the various locations for the file), but instead place all their configuration in a single file using namespaces. It also removes the need for vendor extensions to configuration in separate files. For example inside of web.xml, we could have the configuration for: web.xml faces-config.xml persistence.xml orm.xml beans.xml The idea is to have one descriptor and support all the different configuration schemas that Java EE provides. So there are two separate goals here. 1. Merge vendor extensions into the standard descriptor (Hibernate mappings into orm.xml or persistence.xml, for instance) 2. Combine all configurations into a single, consolidated descriptor (web.xml for WAR, ejb-jar.xml for EJB-JAR, and applications.xml for EAR) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
