The other use case that was brought up was to merge multiple standard descriptors into a consolidated location. So inside of web.xml, we could have the configuration for:<br><br>web.xml<br>faces-config.xml<br>persistence.xml<br>
orm.xml<br>beans.xml<br><br>The idea is to have one descriptor and support all the different configuration schemas that Java EE provides. The result would look something like the Seam component descriptor (or Spring&#39;s applicationContext.xml).<br>
<br>So there are two separate goals here.<br><br>1. Merge vendor extensions into the standard descriptor (Hibernate mappings into orm.xml or persistence.xml, for instance)<br>2. Combine all configurations into a single, consolidated descriptor (web.xml for WAR, ejb-jar.xml for EJB-JAR, and applications.xml for EAR)<br>
