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

[Dan Allen]

The other use case that was brought up was to merge multiple standard
descriptors into a consolidated location. So inside of web.xml, we could
have the configuration for:

web.xml
faces-config.xml
persistence.xml
orm.xml
beans.xml

The idea is to have one descriptor and support all the different
configuration schemas that Java EE provides. The result would look something
like the Seam component descriptor (or Spring's applicationContext.xml).

So there are two separate goals here.

1. Merge vendor extensions into the standard descriptor (Hibernate mappings
into orm.xml or persistence.xml, for instance)
2. Combine all configurations into a single, consolidated descriptor
(web.xml for WAR, ejb-jar.xml for EJB-JAR, and applications.xml for EAR)
