SIgnaficane of the ControllerMode ....

[vickyk]

I have been going through the dependency state machine code and found ControllerMode class , I am not able to understand its usage .
As of now I can understand is that
1) The POJO defined in the XML is read by the Kernel module of the MC
2) The meta-data is created for the POJO defined in the xml , this is done by the kernel module , the meta-data related classes are in
container module
3) This meta-data is then used by the state-machine (dependency) code for installing the POJO .....

I just wanted to make sure that what I understand by reading the wikis and code is correct ?

ControllerMode defines how your beans move through states: automatically = as far as possible, manualy = 'you' will move it to next state, demand = when it is needed, disabled = not able to move it at all.

And, what's the problems so far?

I am not able to think of the use case for the manually, demand and disabled cases in IOC container.
I think the default is automatically, let me dig more of the code and have picture more clearer.

Understanding the container module is really complex, do we have any wiki which explains what each package (annotation,beans,classadapter,classloading,config .....) is doing ?

I have looked at all the links earlier.
--http://docs.jboss.org/nightly/microkernel/docs/reference/en/html/
Are there any plans to have more details in the above link?

What exactly do you want to do - for wanting more details?

I've started some docbook for the container project a while ago, but
I haven't got very far (not enough cycles).

The main reason it doesn't already exist is because
this api has been very fluid.

Would it be possible for me to have look at that documentation ?

There is none, it is just a shell with lots of TODOs.
