I'm having a difficult time understanding the changes to config.xml.
Can somebody help me out? How do things work now, where are they
headed, and can include optional items for users still via comments?
I apologize if I missed a dev post about the changes already.
I was used to config.xml in the source for each assembly that included
things like:
- it was formatted to be easily read
- it included items which were commented out to help users making common
changes.
- I know it didn't include a complete list of the all the gbeans but it
had most of them that a user might need to touch.
Now:
- config.xml it no longer exists in src for each assembly. I assume it
is generated via the build. Does it use info in the pom for the
assembly to create the target config.xml?
- it is not formatted so it's a bit more difficult to read.
- it does not include comments or tips for the user on how to
enable/disable function - it would be nice if we could get some of that
get that back.
- Finally, I don't see all the same content in there that we had before.
For example, I was looking for TomcatEngine gbean but I don't see that
in the config.xml for the tomcat-javaee5 server in trunk. On the other
hand, I see a GBean def for TomcatWebContainer that wasn't in the 2.0.2
config.xml.
