I would say - neither! The JSR88 deployer will have mechanisms for converting the XML to DDBean and DConfigBean trees. I would suggest these are exposed rather than the XML in either form.
This allows the deployer to store the config in any form - we have already talked about storing config in an external, not-necessarily XML repository such as RDBMS or JNDI. It also matches the future direction of replacing XML DDs with J2SE metadata. -- Jeremy > -----Original Message----- > From: Jan Bartel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 12:55 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [dom4j/w3c] Exposing Documents on geronimo components > > > Some of the web container components would like to expose a parsed XML > Document in their methods.
