[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-17?page=comments#action_73284 ] Stephane Nicoll commented on MEAR-17: -------------------------------------
No, so patching the EJB modules break signatures. That's one of the reason why I don't want to do it in the EAR plugin (but you should do so in the projeet building the EJB module) Thanks for the link, it's interessting but JavaEE5 specifc for now. Regarding APP-INF/lib it's a weblogic proprietary feature, it won't work on other app server. > Jar files packed in the EAR file should also be added to application.xml or > manifest.mf > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MEAR-17 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEAR-17 > Project: Maven 2.x Ear Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Kristoffer Peterhäesel > Assigned To: Stephane Nicoll > > While attempting to package an EAR for deployment on JBoss I have come across > a (for me) major issue with the way this module works. > The issue is that there are a lot dependency jars included by default. That > by itself isn't the problem. The problem is there is no way to include it in > the classpath without defining all the dependencies again in the pom.xml for > the EAR. > In an ideal world (for me) the jars would be an easy way to add the jars to > the classpath since I want to include all I need in the EAR to make it as > easy as possible to set up a depoyment environment. > There are really two options for how to do that. Either the jar files are > added to the generated Manifest.MF file or else there should be a simple > option to include all packed jar files to the application.xml. Both should > (AFAIK) work in any standard-compliant container. > The option of putting all the jar files in APP-INF/lib only works on Weblogic. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
