Hi Sainath, thanks very much for working on this. I'll review your patch later
today or tomorrow...

Hi,
I completed the part of obtaining metadata complete information from
Deployment Descriptors of Web Projects. I have attached a patch to the
following JIRA for the same.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-441
The new deployment descriptor classes are designed in such a way that it
can be easily extended for other types of deployment descriptors.
"AbstractDeploymentDescriptor" which is the parent for all other types
stores the metadata complete descriptor as "Object" type.
As J2EE and JavaEE webapp's are two totally complete unrelated classes
(atleast according to eclipse jst implementation), I created a interface
in our case "WebDeploymentDescriptor" which will be implemented by both
J2EE and JavaEE descriptor. So,Our future classes for EJBs can extend
AbstractDeploymentDescriptor and implement a EjbDeploymentDescriptor
which would be common for both J2EE and JavaEE EJB types.
Also a utility class is created which returns the abstract deployment
descriptor object properly initialized based on the type of project. Any
feedback or comments?

I very much agree with YunFeng that we should provide a mechanism to
link deployment plan and deployment descriptor. Even at present the
GEP deployment plan wizards are not able to get information from
deployment descriptor (like security roles, ejb-ref, resource-ref
etc) or when respective annotations are used in the source files.
I am currently working on the issue of having GEP Deployment Plan
get the necessary information from web.xml or annotations. I believe
that once we are able to retrieve necessary information from
deployment desciptor, we can easily extend the approach to add also.

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?
Thanks
