I have added support for deployment of unpackaged J2EE modules, EARs, EJB-JARs and WARs to the 2.4 branch for inclusion in the 2.4.4 release. This goes from the current extreme of copying everything to NO copies of anything. The J2EE module must be completely unpackaged. An EAR must have the modules referred to by the META-INF/application.xml descriptor as unpackaged EJB-JARs and WARs. The only jars allowed are those referred to by module manifest Class-Path attributes. Because these are not copied, you could see problems on redeployment if you update the module Class-Path jars and they redeploy the module by touching/updating its deployment descriptor.
To enable deployment of an upackaged module add its directory to the AutoDeployer URLs attribute. The following G:/pkgs/eartest.ear entry: <mbean code="org.jboss.ejb.AutoDeployer" name="EJB:service=AutoDeployer"> <attribute name="Deployers"> J2EE:service=J2eeDeployer; JCA:service=RARDeployer </attribute> <attribute name="URLs">../deploy,../deploy/lib,G:/pkgs/eartest.ear</attribute> </mbean> Is an upackaged ear that contains an upackaged eartest.jar EJB-JAR and an upackaged eartest.war WAR: eartest.ear 921>ls META-INF/ eartest.jar/ eartest.war/ I'll put out a new 2.4.4 beta tomorrow with this capability included to allow for additional testing. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Stark Chief Technology Officer JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
