RAR MetaData Repository ----------------------- Key: JBAS-1437 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1437 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JCA service Reporter: Adrian Brock Assigned To: Jesper Pedersen Priority: Minor Forums Discussion Thread: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=48681 Implement a RAR MetaData repository. There are two use cases of this object: * A tool wants to retrieve information about how to configure a RAR deployment either inbound/outbound or admin object * Avoiding the need to specify the rar-name in jboss.xml, -ds.xml or admin object deployments when only one rar implements the connection definition or message listener. Design: 1) When a RAR is deployed/undeployed update the repository with information about the RAR including cross references by * ConnectionDefinition * MessageListener * AdminObject 2) When an MDB is deployed without identifying the rar, use the repository to try to guess the RAR 3) When a ConnectionFactory is deployed without identifying the rar, use the repository to try to guess the RAR 4) When an AdminObject is deployed without identifying the rar, use the repository to try to guess the RAR The algorithm to guess the RAR is a) Is there only one RAR implementing the object b) If there is more than one RAR, is there a specific RAR in the same top level deployment (EAR) as the referencing deployment
