    Missing feature in EJB2 ContainerConfiguration merge

      In the old EJB2 container configuration, you could do something like this
      which is an extension of the container configuration without changing its name

      <container-configurations>
       <container-configuration>
       <container-name>Standard Stateless SessionBean</container-name>
       <depends>test:name=Test</depends>
       </container-configuration>
      </container-configurations>
      


      This is the old code (note the comment).

       Element conf = (Element)iterator.next();
       String confName = getElementContent(getUniqueChild(conf,
       "container-name"));
       String parentConfName = conf.getAttribute("extends");
       if (parentConfName != null && parentConfName.trim().length() == 0)
       {
       parentConfName = null;
       }
      
       // Allow the configuration to inherit from a standard
       // configuration. This is determined by looking for a
       // configuration matching the name given by the extends
       // attribute, or if extends was not specified, an
       // existing configuration with the same.
       ConfigurationMetaData configurationMetaData = null;
       if (parentConfName != null)
       {
       configurationMetaData = getConfigurationMetaDataByName(parentConfName);
       if (configurationMetaData == null)
       {
       throw new DeploymentException("Failed to find " +
       "parent config=" + parentConfName);
       }
      
       // Make a copy of the existing configuration
       configurationMetaData =
       (ConfigurationMetaData)configurationMetaData.clone();
       configurations.put(confName, configurationMetaData);
       }
      
       if (configurationMetaData == null)
       {
       configurationMetaData =
       getConfigurationMetaDataByName(confName);
       }
      
       // Create a new configuration if none was found
       if (configurationMetaData == null)
       {
       configurationMetaData = new ConfigurationMetaData(confName);
       configurations.put(confName, configurationMetaData);
       }
      


      This isn't working in the new metadata because the the wrapper
      only looks at the extends attribute.
