RE: [wtp-dev] Modelling multiple runtimes in one server

["Konstantin Komissarchik" <konstantin.komissarchik@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The runtime components extension point is used in every server adapter to declare the component that represents the core application server.

The internalRuntimeComponentProviders extension point is not used in WTP directly, but is used in several adopter products from different companies.

Hi Konstantin,

If this does what I think it does from the first readthrough and browsing
related sourcecode then
the faceted API just earned an extra couple of stripes! :)

I'll follow up on the blogpost if I bump into some issues, but one worry I
have is that *no* code in
WTP seem to use this extension points (except for the JavaVM runtime)...is
it just not known and used
by anyone ?
