This is the common behavior mode when there is aggregation: anonymous wrote : | The use case I can think of where coupling of metadata is required is when the classloader metadata is constructed. Each subdeployment can add metadata (urls) to the top level metadata that creates the classloader. | | This is probably the more common pattern. i.e. Each subdeployment builds up metadata (e.g. urls) at the top level which is processed last and adds global policy (e.g. classloader isolation, java2 delegation, etc.) |
A given deployment is likely to have configuration of an aspect that needs to be merged into the aggregate view when the deployment is joined to other deployments. In addition to class loading, logging and security are two more examples of aspects that should have an aggregate metadata and behavior. Its also non-deterministic as to what the aggregate behavior should be. In the case of logging it may be that the independent logging configurations should be left as is. An equally valid view is that the logging configuration seen at the root most level takes precedence. Likewise how the merged security aspect should behave is arbitrary. It can be anything from independent untrusted domains to a global override from the root, to federated domains that have to arrange migration of security contexts based on trust relationships that are described by metadata that has no meaning in absence of aggregation.
