Hi David, Currently Openejb standalone only allows you to set the configurations at the container level. Currently openejb standalone accepts these configuration values at the constructor of the container. In standalone I believe that you can have different Mdb Containers with different configurations. There is no limitation there as we can map different ejbs to different containers. You can also pass these values via a properties object or via system properties. Also standalone has configuration files for this too.
Currently in Geronimo there is a wrapper Gbean created for all containers other than the Mdb Container and that wrapper Gbean has a properties attribute wherein we can pass these values. However there is no wrapper Gbean for the MdbContainers created as they are created dynamically one for each resource adapter. The properties are set during creation and openejb when creating the container will use these property values. To override these values we can always set system property values which have the highest priority. Yes so we need to setup different containers for different configurations. However for Mdbs with geronimo a container is created per RA. I am also not yet sure whether we can deploy ejbs to different other types containers in geronimo also using openejb-jar.xml. I think that it is possible only via geronimo-openejb.xml(May be wrong here. Someone correct me if we can specify which container an ejb must be depoyed in openejb-jar.xml :) ). If this is correct then maybe we need to add that flexibility in the openejb-jar.xml plan and maybe add the capability to add new containers in the portlet. This will provide full flexibility in a more user friendly way.
