Ralf Battenfeld commented on SHRINKDESC-163:
--------------------------------------------
I was checking some other possibilities but at the end, if believe the only 'real'
solution is that we support multi root elements in a descriptor. If you all agree then I
will work on this. It will take a little time to implement it.
This solution will then replace the three module descriptors by one descriptor. You then
can load an XML file and navigate through the top level methods in order to find which
flavor of the module.xml you have loaded.
Does that make sense?
Deal with descriptors with multiple possible roots better

Key: SHRINKDESC-163
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-163
Project: ShrinkWrap Descriptors
Issue Type: Feature Request
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha-8
Reporter: Toby Crawley
When implementing SHRINKDESC-162, I created three different
descriptors for module.xml ({{ModuleDescriptor}},
{{ModuleAliasDescriptor}}, {{ModuleAbsentDescriptor}}) corresponding to
the three root elements listed in the xsd ({{module}}, {{module-alias}},
{{module-absent}}). This works fine if you are generating a module.xml,
but if you are loading in an existing file, you don't know without
looking at the file contents to know which type to instantiate.
It would be swell if there was a way for descriptors to support
multiple roots and do the correct thing. Or does that already exist
and I missed it?
