Customizing attachment name in parsing deployers

[anil.saldhana]

Is there any way by which the parsing deployers store metadata attachments in the deployment unit keyed in by a custom attachment name rather than the deployment type?

Use case: There are 2 or more parsing deployers generating JAXB metadata with JAXBElement as the deployment type.

Currently the way to do is to extend the base parsing deployers "createMetaData" method and use the custom attachment name rather than the "getOutput().getName()" call used in the base parsing deployers.

I am referring to parsing deployers derived from "AbstractParsingDeployerWithOutput".

/**
 * Create some meta data. Calls createMetaData(unit, name, suffix, getDeploymentType().getName()).
 *
 * @param unit the deployment unit
 * @param name the name
 * @param suffix the suffix
 * @throws DeploymentException for any error
 */
 protected void createMetaData(DeploymentUnit unit, String name, String suffix) throws DeploymentException
 {
 createMetaData(unit, name, suffix, getOutput().getName());
 }

I had to write a deployer that overrode the create method as follows:

public final static String XACML_ATTACHMENT_NAME = "xacml.config";
 /**
 * Method overridden to make the attachment name to be not the same as
 * the deployment type but a custom name
 */
 @Override
 protected void createMetaData(DeploymentUnit unit, String name, String suffix) throws DeploymentException
 {
 createMetaData(unit, name, suffix, XACML_ATTACHMENT_NAME);
 }

Maybe a method called as setAttachmentName?

I guess that's doable. ;-)
I'll add something.

Can you create a JIRA in JBDEPLOY?
