I think I found the source of the problem described below. I've tried
deploying a simple ear with a webapp that has the following jsp
<html>
<head>
<title>Hidden Classes Test</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<%
Object o = new org.apache.xbean.propertyeditor.ArrayListEditor ();
out.println (o);
%>
</body>
</html>
I tested this with Geronimo 1.1. I copied the
repository/org/apache/xbean directory to my Geronimo 1.1 repository from
my Geronimo 2.0-M3 installation. If I leave the
geronimo-application.xml file without any hidden-classes or
dependencies, this JSP won't compile because
"org.apache.xbean.propertyeditor.ArrayListEditor cannot be resolved to a
type". To get it to work in Geronimo 1.1 I have to manually specify in
the geronimo-application.xml that I want to use the xbean-reflect
package in the Geronimo 1.1 repository.
In Geronimo 2.0-M3, it appears as tho everything in the Geronimo
repository is available to the application. So, when I deploy the
application and hit the above JSP, it is able to successfully create the
ArrayListEditor, even when there are no dependencies listed in the
geronimo-application.xml file. It also seems that if I try to hide the
package with this geronimo-application.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application
xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/application-1.2";>
<environment
xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2";>
<moduleId>
<groupId>${pom.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${pom.artifactId}</artifactId>
<version>${version}</version>
<type>ear</type>
</moduleId>
<hidden-classes>
<filter>org.apache.xbean</filter>
</hidden-classes>
</environment>
</application>
the JSP is able to compile and run just fine, leading me to believe that
the hidden-classes in my geronimo-application.xml file are being
ignored. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks,
Rich
