Hello, To extend the containers loaded on startup, it is possible define a container element either in the global “ofbiz-containers.xml” file or in the “ofbiz-component.xml” file from each component.
This redundancy adds extra complexity in the startup process for no good extensibility reason. The component container loader is more flexible since it allows developper to add new containers without touching the framework so it is better to only rely on this option. In order to simplify the startup process I am proposing to remove the "ofbiz-containers.xml" config file and hard-code the required base container which is loading the components which is currently defined in this file. What do people think? I have opened OFBIZ-11100 [1] with some patches demonstrating what I am exactly proposing. Thanks.
