Policy and the location of definitions.xml

I noticed that DefinitionsDocumentProcessor register itself to process
"/META-INF/definitions.xml" and some iTests fails if we move the
definitions.xml outside the META-INF folder (e.g itest-policies).
Does the SCA Policy spec says we can only have definitions.xml inside
META-INF folder ? Could someone point me where that is mentioned ?

Thanks

Thanks, I was looking in the Policy spec which didn't have any mention of this.

This is defined in the SCA assembly spec:

3081 8 SCA Definitions
3082 There are a variety of SCA artifacts which are generally useful and which are not specific to a particular
3083 composite or a particular component. These shared artifacts include intents, policy sets, bindings,
3084 binding type definitions and implementation type definitions.
3085 All of these artifacts within an SCA Domain are defined in SCA contributions in files called META-
3086 INF/definitions.xml (relative to the contribution base URI). An SCA runtime MUST make available to the
3087 Domain all the artifacts contained within the definitions.xml files in the Domain. [ASM10002] An SCA
3088 runtime MUST reject a definitions.xml file that does not conform to the sca-definitions.xsd schema.
3089 [ASM10003]

Thanks,
Raymond
