A couple of things...
What about a typesafe Java Configuration descriptor? Would it be possible to
use both a compiled class and a .java file? I don't think either of these
have been tried on a ApplicationServer (yet!)
If OpenEJB/TomEE stays XML, I would greatly prefer to have an XSD that has
all possible attributes and options built into it. This sounds old
fashioned, but hitting cntrl-space in Eclipse while editing an XML file
makes configuration a snap. It makes for less trips back to the
online-documentation and mailing list too :)
The only thing I'm picky about is having "one way" of specifying the data.
Having multiple ways to specify the same thing will likely confuse
newcowers:
<Configuration>
<AsynchronousPool>
CorePoolSize = 10
<Configuration>
AsynchronousPool.CorePoolSize = 10
My .02!
