Declaring Beans from xml

[eigenbrodtm]

I've tried to play with beans.xml but had no success. Does declaring beans from xml already work?

I've tried this one:

<Beans xmlns="urn:java:ee">
    <Integer>
        <Named>TestInt</Named>
        <value>4711</value>
    </Integer>
</Beans>

Should give me a named bean, but from the JBoss logfile it doesn't look like.

This should throw an Definition Exception, since there is no such class:

<Beans xmlns="urn:java:ee">
    <asdfkhlsadklfsd/>
</Beans>

However the beans.xml is beeing parsed since changing it to be non xml gives an org.xml.sax.SAXParseException.

There is still a huge hole in the implementation where the xml will be (in the next release). Currently, there is only a stub that recognizes (and does some parsing on?) the beans.xml but it doesn't really do anything with it.

Specifically, it currently parses out enabled deployment types only

Probably a really really good idea to abort deployment or at the very least log an INFO if we find something in the XML that we don't currently understand :-)
