Using BeansDescriptor, PersistenceDescriptor, etc is currently a bit more verbose and
error prone than it really needs to be.
These descriptors have very well established locations in the source tree in standard
Maven structured projects, and absolutely fixed locations within archives of a given type.
The descriptors module should know those locations and be able to use them unless
overridden.
Current code for loading and using beans.xml and persistence.xml is currently pretty
verbose and repeats paths that're fixed by strong convention and/or standards
requirements:
BeansDescriptor beansXml = Descriptors.importAs(BeansDescriptor.class)
.from(new File("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/beans.xml"));
PersistenceDescriptor persistenceXml =
Descriptors.importAs(PersistenceDescriptor.class)
.from(new File("src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml"));
WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "demo.war")
.addPackage(Demo.class.getPackage())
.addAsWebInfResource(new StringAsset(beansXml.exportAsString()),
"beans.xml")
.addAsResource(new StringAsset(persistenceXml.exportAsString()),
"META-INF/persistence.xml");
The paths to beans.xml and persistence.xml are dependent on the archive type but otherwise
absolutely fixed by convention. As such, it *should* be possible to write something like:
BeansDescriptor beansXml =
Descriptors.importAs(BeansDescriptor.class).fromDefaultLocation();
PersistenceDescriptor persistenceXml =
Descriptors.importAs(PersistenceDescriptor.class).fromDefaultLocation();
WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "demo.war")
.addPackage(Demo.class.getPackage())
.addDescriptor(beansXml)
.addDescriptor(persistenceXml);
In the above, `.fromDefaultLocation()' will pluck the descriptor from the standard
spot in the Maven source tree, and the .addDescriptor(...)' method will pass the
archive type to an -impl descriptor method that returns the appropriate archive path for
that descriptor in that archive type, eg /WEB-INF/beans.xml for a BeansDescriptor in a
WebArchive, /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml for a PersistneceDescriptor in a
WebArchive, /META-INF/persistence.xml for a PersistenceArchive in a JavaArchive, etc.
Because the location of beans.xml in the source tree varies based on the pom.xml
<packaging/> directive, it might be necessary to integrate with the maven
resolver plugin to get <packaging/> info from the pom, producing something
like:
MavenDependencyResolver mvn =
DependencyResolvers.use(MavenDependencyResolver.class)
.configureFrom("pom.xml");
BeansDescriptor beansXml =
Descriptors.importAs(BeansDescriptor.class).byPom(mvn);
PersistenceDescriptor persistenceXml =
Descriptors.importAs(PersistenceDescriptor.class).byPom(mvn);
... or ...:
MavenDependencyResolver mvn =
DependencyResolvers.use(MavenDependencyResolver.class)
.configureFrom("pom.xml");
BeansDescriptor beansXml = mvn.importDescriptor(BeansDescriptor.class);
PersistenceDescriptor persistenceXml =
mvn.importDescriptor(PersistenceDescriptor.class);
