Rashid Kamran commented on JBMICROCONT-35:
------------------------------------------

Whatever you are saying is correct but conventionally a <property> tag is supposed to call a setXXX  method and setter methods are supposed to overwrite the properties completely. Because the way its now a constructor could add three elements as default and one can add two more from the configuration file and this is inconsistency because as a programmer my intention would be to give defaults in the code and overwrite defaults using properties. while you are merging both.. It's not conventional

> See org.jboss.test.kernel.config.test.CollectionTestCase#TODOtestCustomCollectionPreInstantiated
> Same issues apply to Lists, Sets, Maps, Arrays, etc.
> i.e. If the bean already has a collection value for the property that can be
> retrieved using the getter, we should be able to use that collection instance.
> Need to think about the configuration options and rules.
> Current rules are:
> 1) Use class specified in metadata
> 2) Use class specified on setter (if not an interface)
> 3) Use ArrayList
