<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ul>
<li>Configuration settings should have configurable defaults at the module,
ear, server and cluster level (when clustering is added). For example,
security settings should be configurable on a per ejb, ejb jar, ear and
server levels. </li>
<li>Settings should have a smooth increase in complexity from very simple to
complex. For example, a cache setting could start with a simple max-size,
and over time the user could increase the complexity by adding
configuration for disk paging up to specification of complex flushing
rules.</li>
</ul>
<p><a name="RulesofThumb-Validation"></a></p>
<h3>Validation</h3>
<ul>
<li>Applications should be fully validated before handing it off to the
deployment system. This vastly simplifies the deployment system because it
assumes that an application is valid. As a corollary, the deployment
system should not be complicated with code that tests for invalid
deployments or with code to print graceful error messages to a user.</li>
