[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-4296) Support overriding deployment descriptors at deployment time

[Stephen McConnell (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4296?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12682563#comment-12682563 ] 

Stephen McConnell commented on AS7-4296:
----------------------------------------

Relevant extract from the JEE6 spec supporting this requirement:

  EE.5.2 JNDI Naming Context

  The application component’s naming environment is a mechanism that allows 
  customization of the application component’s business logic during deployment 
  or assembly. Use of the application component’s environment allows the 
  application component to be customized without the need to access or change 
  the application component’s source code.
 
  5.2.1 (3) The Deployer uses the tools provided by the container to initialize 
  the environment entries that are declared in the application component’s 
  deployment descriptor or via annotations. The Deployer can set and modify 
  the values of the environment entries. As part of this process, the Deployer 
  is allowed to override any “lookup” information associated with the application 
  component.

The overriding of environment entries needs to be available as a part of a deployment descriptor (i.e. invoked as part of an automated process).

> We need to be able to specify alternate jboss-*.xml descriptors (or indeed any descriptor) at deployment, and have them override the descriptors physically present in the deployment archive.
