Ok, for openejb it sounds like there are still some misplaced imports so this exercise wasn't a wasted effort. I tried to remove the import for axis but I'm hitting some problems with openejb-deploy.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I think that fixing this will require significant code changes in openejb.


Regarding the daytrader imports: Can you explain you comment about ease to switch databases a bit more? We would have to provide another configuration for another database and it would call out the appropriate imports as it requires - no? Or is your point that we should clearly call out all necessary imports/dependencies for each component without regard for transitive imports/dependencies so that changes in one configuration cannot break another?

That is pretty much the point. Especially with the artifact resolving code we are working on in the configId branch you don't really know that the parents you will get at runtime will be the same as those present at deploy time. Someone might have upgraded one of the parents and changed it's imports.

----------------------------------------
I think most of this is the wrong approach: comments:
openejb import for j2ee-server - Openejb already has an import of axis which imports j2ee-server It is a really major problem that openejb is importing axis. I believe this needs to be solved before we can think about working with axis2. openejb should be importing j2ee-server and NOT axis. daytrader-jetty import for j2ee-server - daytrader already has an import for system-database which imports j2ee-server I don't thinks system-database needs to import j2ee-server. I would hope something like rmi-naming would be sufficient. Even if this is impossible for some reason I would prefer to include j2ee- server anyway to make it easier to switch databases. daytrader-tomcat import for j2ee-server - daytrader already has an import for system-database which imports j2ee-server
ditto.
One other questionable import is in ldap-demo-jetty which imports ldap-realm. I wonder about this one because ldap-demo-tomcat doesn't include the same import. It seems like either both should need this or neither one would need it. If it works without the import, let's leave it out. When the configid stuff is further along we can include a service-only dependency that will assure the ldap-realm has started but won't include anything in the classpath
Eliminate unnecessary config parent (import) dependencies

There are several parent dependencies that appear to be redunant in the configurations. They include: openejb import for j2ee-server - Openejb already has an import of axis which imports j2ee-server daytrader-jetty import for j2ee-server - daytrader already has an import for system-database which imports j2ee-server daytrader-tomcat import for j2ee-server - daytrader already has an import for system-database which imports j2ee-server One other questionable import is in ldap-demo-jetty which imports ldap-realm. I wonder about this one because ldap-demo-tomcat doesn't include the same import. It seems like either both should need this or neither one would need it.
