Now the GEP provides rich funnctionalities to edit geronimo deployment plan,
such as geronimo-web.xml, but it doesn't link deployment plan and deployment
descriptor. For example, adding a EJB reference in the geronimo-web.xml
Deployment editor only changes deployment plan, it doesn't add a ejb-ref to
deployment descriptor web.xml, the developers have to add the ejb-ref to
web.xml manually.
There are other such kind of pairs: openejb-jar.xml vs. ejb-jar.xml,
geronio-application.xml vs. application.xml, geronimo-ra.xml vs. ra.xml etc.
Most importantly, the design of GEP has not provided a mechanism to support
this feature. I think we should consider this now rather than later when GEP
becomes more complicated. What's your thought?
