[jboss-user] [Microcontainer] - Lots of little XML files?

[david.lloyd@jboss.com]

I'm finding that as a consequence of having many deployers for a variety of XML files, that a deployment could have as many as 5 or 6 small XML files to configure various things.

What about some kind of mechanism to allow users to combine descriptors into a single file?  Something like this:

<multi xmlns="urn:jboss:multi:1.0">
  |     <descriptor name="jboss-beans.xml">
  |         <deployment xmlns="urn:jboss:bean-deployer:2.0">
  |             <bean name="blah">
  |                 ...
  |             </bean>
  |         </deployment>
  |     </descriptor>
  |     <descriptor name="jboss-classloading.xml">
  |         <classloading xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading:1.0">
  |             <capabilities>
  |                 <package name="foo.bar" version="1.0"/>
  |             </capabilities>
  |         </classloading>
  |     </descriptor>
  |     <descriptor name="jboss-io.xml">
  |         ...etc...
  |     </descriptor>
  | </multi>
