Decorator ordering on more than one module.

[cjalmeida]

Say I have the following structure:

myapp.ear:
  base.jar: /* module with basic classes */
     beans.xml
     myapp/base/PersonForm.class
  stock.jar: /* specialized module dealing with inventory */
     beans.xml
     myapp/stock/SupplierForm.class
  finance.jar: /* specialized module dealing with financials */
     beans.xml
     myapp/finance/CreditorForm.class

Both stock and finance modules depend on base but are completely independent of each other. SupplierForm and CreditorForm are specialized versions of the PersonForm UI controller where module-specific data is placed. For instance, CreditorForm add a Deposit Account field to the Person Form.

I thought of implementing this scenario using @Decorators. SupplierForm and CreditorForm decorates the UI building logic. The questions are:

A. On such scenario, where should I enable the decorators?

1. enable both decorators on base.jar!beans.xml;


2. enable each decorator on its module beans.xml;


3. none of the above.

B. What would be the decorator calling order if they're not enabled on the same beans.xml?
