The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Dain Sundstrom Created: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 2:52 PM Body: I don't think we need this other then "copy the extension to the java/ext directory". The spec suggest that this would be nice, but goes into details about how little is acutely required:
A J2EE product is not required to support downloading of optional packages (using the <extension>-Implementation-URL header) at deployment time or runtime. A J2EE product is also not required to support more than a single version of an installed optional package at once. A J2EE product is not required to limit access to installed optional packages to only those for which the application has expressed a dependency; the application may be given access to more installed optional packages than it has requested. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-310?page=comments#action_53205 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-310 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: GERONIMO-310 Summary: Support extension directory Type: Task Status: Unassigned Priority: Major Project: Apache Geronimo Assignee: Reporter: Jeremy Boynes Created: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 2:01 PM Updated: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 2:52 PM Description: Geronimo should support an extension directory where packages can be stored and then referenced by applications using the standard package extenstion mechanism.
