Hi, does anyone happen to know any specifics about the <suppress-

schema documentation includes this comment below, which leads me to
believe that it's only used by application clients, but I can't find
any examples where it is ever used. Thanks
"If the "suppress-default-environment" element is specified then any
default environment build by a builder when deploying the plan will
be suppressed. An example of where this is useful is when deploying
a connector on an app client in a separate (standalone) module (not
as part of a client plan). The connector builder defaultEnvironment
includes some server modules that won't work on an app client, so
you need to suppress the default environment and supply a complete
environment including all parents for a non-app-client module you
want to run on an app client"
That looks to me like a good description of it. I think there are
some uses in the tck tests. Originally this was used for deploying a
datasource or jms connection factory for use on the app client: you
don't want to run the transaction plugin in the client, you need the
client-transaction plugin. It might be that we aren't using this
element any more since you can do something more useful with the
artifact_aliases.properties for the container you are running: you can
use this to map uses of transaction to client-transaction directly.
