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

[Arbi Sookazian]

So I take it you're specifically referring to components.xml and pages.xml
(and not faces-config.xml)?  If you could fine, but then what happens if the
dev wants to port to another integration fwk and eliminate Seam3 (not that
anybody would really do that!)  Instead of deleting Seam-specific xml files,
you must edit EE-specific xml files.  But I guess that may not be a big
deal.

It seems cleaner to me and easier to read/understand the configs if you have
separate Seam-specific xml files for it...  Of course, it may be easier for
users b/c it's less files to worry about...

I would consider Seam to be an extension of JEE, so if you "collapse" data
in EE-specific xml files, then that may be considered an intrusion of
sorts...
