Mark, Pete and I discussed a little bit about the XML config (from Solder) on IRC today. We quickly decided that we needed to move over to the mailing list for more input, and to make things official.
As things currently exist in the Solder XML Config, it's probably not portable and would really need some of the changes in CDI 1.1 to work properly. We also discussed throwing out the idea of completely configuring beans via XML and using the XML config for other tasks such as applying interceptors and the like via regex or similar ideas, in other words having it being a subset of what currently exists today. What is in Solder is very similar to configuring beans via XML in Spring, and we feel that paradigm has sailed. I'm starting this thread to get some other ideas about what we should do for XML config and also see what people think. -- Jason Porter http://lightguard-jp.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/lightguardjp Software Engineer Open Source Advocate Author of Seam Catch - Next Generation Java Exception Handling PGP key id: 926CCFF5 PGP key available at: keyserver.net, pgp.mit.edu
