Heiko Braun commented on WFCORE-1163:
-------------------------------------

Brian:

... since swarm is assembling together a config from elements
fractions plus stuff from standalone.xml
and exactly what from standalone.xml should be kept vs ignored is still somewhat in flux
letting swarm be in charge of the overall assembly and letting it pull what it needs from kernel-provided parsers seems best
at least initially

... the intent would be to allow access to a parser for the main elements
i.e. first level children of the <server> element root, excluding 'extension' and 'profile'
allowing that seems like a fairly simple refactoring of existing parsing classes

... one aspect to deal with is the parsers for some chunks do validation against data parsed from other chunks
e.g. the 'socket-binding-group' parsing validates that 'interface' references point to previously parsed interfaces
I think we would need to tweak the internals to disable that kind of validation if things are parsed this way
since it's only if the full internal parser is used that we have the necessary state to pass between parser chunks 
unless we add some complicated API, which I'd prefer not to do

... that's no big loss though
that kind of validation will still happen when the List<ModelNode> of operations is executed
doing it in the parser is redundant
we only do it to provide a better error message if validation fails
one that can point to a line/column in the xml
