Overview
A filter of type ByReference is a new syntax aid that allows other MetadataFilterConfiguration to be defined outside of <MetadataProvider> elements and reference named providers "out of band", separating the declaration of general metadata source details from deployer-specific filtering rues.
There is nothing functionally different about using this approach; it's purely a configuration style issue.

The ByReference syntax relies on a set of child elements named <MetadataFilters> that contain a providerRef XML attribute identifying the <MetadataProvider> to apply a set of filters to, and then the filters to apply are declared within, in the normal way.

This filter may or may not change the content of the metadata and so its use needs to be carefully coordinated with any inline filters. Out of band filters will run after any inline filters. |
