Adding items to NameFactory

[Rick McGuire <ri...@gmail.com>]

I'm going to be adding several new GBean types to openejb for ORB 
configuration as part of the Yoko work.  Each of these new GBeans is 
defined with a j2ee type to be consistent with the other openejb CORBA 
GBeans.  Right now, I'm using hard coded strings, but adding these types 
to NameFactory represents an interesting bootstrapping problem.  It 
appears I need to add these to a build first, build and publish that 
build to my repository, then build my openejb code that uses the new 
NameFactory entries, then build my Geronimo code that dependent on the 
new openejb version (ugh).

Is this assumption correct?  Can I go and add the new NameFactory 
entries now in anticipation of my future need so I can avoid the 
bootstrapping problem?

Rick

yup, ain't life fun.

I recommend copying your openejb checkout into thirdparty/openejb2  
and adding this profile to your root g. pom:

         <profile>
             <id>all</id>

             <modules>
                 <module>testsupport</module>
                 <module>modules</module>
                 <module>thirdparty/openejb2/modules</module>
                 <module>maven-plugins</module>
                 <module>applications</module>
                 <module>configs</module>
                 <module>assemblies</module>
             </modules>
         </profile>


Then you can build g + o in one go with mvn -o clean install -Pall

jason, what would you think of adding this into the actual checked-in  
pom?
