[weld-dev] Supporting namespaces in Java EE config files (non-portable feature for JBoss AS)

[Pete Muir]

Hi Jason,

Something that came up during our Seam team meeting was the issue of config files again. We wanted to investigate again why we can't put namespaced elements into existing java ee config files such as application.xml, ejb-jar.xml, web.xml, but instead have to provide our own... Of course, this is non portable, but it would make life easier for users in our opinion.

Previously we have heard that this would cause us to fail the TCK, but given that this code would never run in the EE TCK, I can't see how.

Any ideas?

Pete
