Description

If a deployer person writes an explicit indication of an aggregate in the deployment descriptor (by listing one or more of its delegates), and doesn't specify on the aggregate the async= attribute, this is defaulted to true. This is correct, and works.

But if the aggregate has a delegate which in turn is an aggregate, and the deployment specification has no <analysisEngine> specification at all for that delegate (which is allowed - and is useful for the case where that delegate is to be run with the defaults), the defaulting mechanism is incorrectly setting up that sub-aggregate to be run with async=true - it should be run with async=false.
