Loading manifest into an existing server #16

Closed jeffm13 closed 9 years ago

jeffm13 commented 9 years ago

Any chance of an alternate mechanism for glue to load a manifest into an existing server object? My use case is for a 'reusable' server that forces consistent log, ops, security, and documentation plugins. One way to do that might be to 'preload' a number of plugins into a server, and then load a manifest on top of the existing server. Composition of this 'standard' server would then consist of specific API plugins and their requirements. There are other ways to do this, but I thought I'd ask...

I'd be open to a pull request for this. Something as simple as providing the server to use in the compose options parameter might work. I'd be interested in seeing alternative approaches as well.

I handled my initial use case with a preplugin function. But it was still too brittle. So I think I'm leaning toward an alternate loader--similar to rejoice, but it will enforce a default security scheme and merge the provided manifest with a manifest containing 'standard' plug-ins prior to loading with glue.
