Thanks Romain, It seems that using jars.text, I have to know the names of the .jars in advance too?
I'm trying to get my .jar I have in "/Library/TomEEplus/Aree-components/" to load, but I can't get it to work using: <Context aliases="/files=../Aree-files" antiJARLocking="true" path="/Aree"> <Loader className="org.apache.catalina.loader.VirtualWebappLoader" virtualClasspath="${catalina.home}/Aree-components/"/> </Context> - I might be specifying my path wrong. I have tried a dozen configurations but I can't get it to work. I also get no debug information. - You mentioned 'on trunk' so now I'm thinking you want me to build the tomee I can get from checking out "svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk". However, this version does not want to build, due to: org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.gmaven:gmaven-plugin:1.3:execute (execute-jaxrs-installer) on project apache-tomee: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/openejb/jpa/integration/MakeTxLookup -- View this message in context: http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/Location-of-jar-bean-so-it-s-seen-by-CDI-tp4662777p4662790.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
