Hey Guys,
One thing that needs to be voted on is whether it is acceptable for components
to receive configuration data from a general context object. WIth a EMF based
approach the server would first load server.xml, instantiating all the Beans
modeled in apacheds-xbean-spring.xsd. If you follow the tutorial / trace I
sent out earlier, you'll see how there are generated. As EMF loads server.xml
it creates and binds server.xml to instances of these classes. These instances
would then have to be made available to other components via a server context
object. So the server startup process would be something like this:
- Load server.xml
- Get root configuration object from EMF Resource
(Metaphor for server.xml)
and place it on the server context
- Create all other server components, providing them with a reference
to the server context
So the question is "Is this acceptable?".
Thanks,
- Ole
