> The Security Deployer needs to be changed as per the following rant from Adrian
> =============================
> To me this is the wrong approach anyway.
> There shouldn't be any code that does
> if (ejbdeployment)
>   doThis();
> else if (webdeployment)
>   doThat();
> else if (unknowntype) // OOPS (pun intended  ;-) 
>   cantDoIt();
> The webservice deployers should be working off some generic metadata that triggers them to operate.
> Then each type of deployment can populate that metadata to say "I want a webservice endpoint for this".
> This is a seperate deployer for each type we know how to map to a webservice it takes the ejb/web/other metadata and maps or bridges it to the webservice metadata.
> It shouldn't just be restricted to ejbs and wars.
> e.g. An MBean should be capable of being an endpoint if there is a deployer that creates the relevant metadata attachment from say a META-INF/jboss-webservice.xml in the sar.
> The security deployers take the same brain dead (non object orientated) approach.
> ============================================================
