[jboss-dev-forums] JCA / Datasources in domain.xml

[Jesper Pedersen]

I have been thinking about the configuration for the JCA container - e.g. <jca-container>.

I think that we should start by exposing some of the attributes that IronJacamar currently have on its deployer in order for users to setup their BootstrapContext's (DefaultBootstrapContext should be an internal thing), enable archive validation and bean validation.

So we will have

* ArchiveValidation
* ArchiveValidationFailOnWarn
* ArchiveValidationFailOnError
* BeanValidation
* BootstrapContexts

exposed in the configuration. See http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/en/html/configuration.html#jca_deployer for all supported properties in the standalone environment.

The rest will resolved internally.

However, for BootstrapContexts we need to 'build' based on a thread group and thread pools, so there should be an element for that (<bootstrap-context>).

More advanced options - like selecting specific component implementations of the container - can come later.
