What is the suppress-default-environment element in geronimo-config-1.1.xsd used for?

I searched through the dev list but couldn't find a description of its use.

Thanks,

How could it possibly do that?  We're dealing with a standalone connector here, not something that is part of an app client plan.  The app client builder already tells the connector builder to suppress the default parent id when it is in charge of deploying a connector as part of an app client plan.  However, it is also useful to be able to target a standalone connector deployment to the app client, so many app clients can share the same connector configuration.

Now I'm confused.  Shouldn't the deployment code detect that the RA

While there are undoubtedly other uses, the main use I know of is to  
deploy connectors on an app client in a separate configuration (not  
as part of a client plan).  The connector builder defaultEnvironment  
includes some server configurations that won't work on an app client,  
so you need to suppress the default environment and supply a complete  
environment including all parents for a non-app-client configuration  
you want to run on an app client.

Hope this explains something :-)
