Thank you for your answer.
Having to look at the codesource directly helps me understand the whole
process a lot better.
I really hope this solution is going to be a game changer integrating it
into my application.
I had posted my first question about not being able to run it on wildfly. I
put a pause on that for now, as I want to familiarize myself with the
environment by running the standalone for now.
A very good product !
Thanks for your prompt response.
