This issue is really a simple version of something that I wanted to have
on running on top of the kernel. i.e. the notion of multiple "kernels" in different
application contexts that can delegate to each other.
This was something that was started in system2,
see org.jboss.beans
but not really developed to anything useable.
I'm not sure that this is something we are going to resolve fully in the initial
release.
The first issue is kernel sharing which can be viewed in two different ways:
1) Kernel Isolation
i.e. which kernel to use
* JVM level
* Top level deployment
* My deployment
this will probably require some link into the classloading config to make sense
unless we just let users do what they want and let them sort it out themselves
if the kernels are trying to share across incompatible classloaders
2) Named kernels
i.e. we let people share kernels by naming the kernels
in a similar way to loader repositories
The second issue is "stacking" kernels,
i.e. should the kernel delegate to parent or look locally first, and what
is the kernel's parent(s)?
