I'm finding that as a consequence of having many deployers for a variety of XML files, that a deployment could have as many as 5 or 6 small XML files to configure various things. What about some kind of mechanism to allow users to combine descriptors into a single file? Something like this: <multi xmlns="urn:jboss:multi:1.0"> | <descriptor name="jboss-beans.xml"> | <deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0"> | <bean name="blah"> | ... | </bean> | </deployment> | </descriptor> | <descriptor name="jboss-classloading.xml"> | <classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0"> | <capabilities> | <package name="foo.bar" version="1.0"/> | </capabilities> | </classloading> | </descriptor> | <descriptor name="jboss-io.xml"> | ...etc... | </descriptor> | </multi> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4189925#...
