RE: [wtp-dev] dependency-object in ear project .setting fileundocumented

Hi,

These are references to the module fragments
in the application.xml file.  Without this link, there is no way to
tell (other than uri name lookup) what component reference this is linked
to....

Please send me a direct email if you
have further questions...

Subject	RE: [wtp-dev] dependency-object in ear project .setting        fileundocumented

I recently started noticing
these dependent-object tags showing up in the component files. The last
time I remember seeing these tags is back in wtp 0.7 days. Then they seemed
to have disappeared until recently. Has something changed to re-introduce
this behavior? What purpose do they serve?

Subject: [wtp-dev] dependency-object in ear project .setting fileundocumented
 
I've been attempting to create
a webtools-style faceted project that will mimic an EJB or Web project
in ui and functionality to discover all that is involved in the process
and, once successful, potentially use this infrastructure to create further
project types. 

To compare, I created an EJB project with an associated EAR, and compared
it with my project type (an EJB 3.0 implementation) and an EAR for that
as well. The EJB projects themselves and their .settings/* files matched
almost identically, as was expected. 

The ear projects and their settings almost matched identically except for
the addition of a dependency-object tag in the .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component
file. After browsing http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/wst/api/overview/componentCore.xsd,
the dependency-object tag is not present in the schema. 

I'm fairly unfamiliar with the component core APIs so this is new ground
for me. I'm curious if anyone knows where the webtools ear got that line,
while mine did not. It's possible I missed some line when copying webtools
code, but I'm unsure of even the API to modify this file so I'm not sure
what to look for. 

Thanks for your time, everyone.

Excerpts from the two ear projects follow.

Official EJB project via webtools:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0">
<wb-module deploy-name="Official30Ear">
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/EarContent"/>
<dependent-module deploy-path="/" handle="module:/resource/OfficialEjb/OfficialEjb">
<dependent-object>EjbModule_1161800979593</dependent-object>
<dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
</dependent-module>
</wb-module> 
</project-modules>


My implementation:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0">
<wb-module deploy-name="Test30EAR">
<wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/EarContent"/>
<dependent-module deploy-path="/" handle="module:/resource/Test30/Test30">
<dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
</dependent-module>
</wb-module>
</project-modules>
