David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-4251:
----------------------------------------
Someone needs to look at the spec again.... my recollection is that relative
urls are relative to the location of the module in the ear. So if your module
is at the ear root relative and absolute mean the same thing but if your module
is at /foo/bar/myModule.jar then ../baz/myLib.jar would be the same as
/foo/baz/myLib.jar
> Class-Path entry in WAR manifest didn't work if entry is a directory

> Hi,
> it's not possible to define an Class-Path element in the WARs manifest, if
> it's a directory. I try to access jar files packed in the EARs lib/
> directory from within a WAR module.
> e.g. this will work:
> Class-Path: a.jar b.jar
> but this doesn't work:
> Class-Path: lib/
> If a directory is specifyed, I receive the following error:
> 15:20:13,170 ERROR [DirectoryHotDeployer] Unable to deploy: Manifest class
> path
> entries must end with the .jar extension (J2EE 1.4 Section 8.2): module=../
> org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Manifest class path entries
> must
> end with the .jar extension (J2EE 1.4 Section 8.2): module=../
> at
> org.apache.geronimo.deployment.DeploymentContext.addManifestClassPath
> (DeploymentContext.java:419)
> ...
> I think this is definitely an error because the JEE5 specification section
> 8.2.1 explicitely allows directories in manifest Class-Path entries.
