NEW ISSUE: Allow multiple definitions.xml files

["Michael Rowley" <mrowley@bea.com>]

 

RAISER: Michael Rowley

 

TARGET: SCA Assembly WD02 Section 10: Definitions

 

DESCRIPTION:

 

The second paragraph says:

 

“All of these artifacts within an SCA Domain are defined in a global, SCA Domain-wide file named definitions.xml.”

 

It should be possible to have more than one of these files.

 

PROPOSAL:

 

Something along the lines of the following:

 

All of these artifacts within an SCA Domain are defined in SCA contributions in files called META-INF/definitions.xml (relative to the contribution base URI).  Although the definitions are specified within a single SCA contribution, the definitions are visible throughout the domain.  Because of this, all of the QNames for these definitions MUST be unique within the domain.
