<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Regarding "Patching Deployments" along with the "Mixed Approach" prototype described in <a class="" href="https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-25627">ExtendingAS7</a> page. The prototype says to package the deployment (say, an EAR) in an unexploded, zipped format (so you literally would have one file in the module called "mydep.ear" or "myapp.war").</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Should it be possible to allow for the Mixed Approach to deploy exploded content (so the module would have a directory structure "mydep.ear/<the content>"). How would this affect this patching mechanism?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I bring this up because of the following use-case : suppose we have legacy code (that used to go in the scanned deployments directory but will now be using the new Mixed Approach method) - and that legacy code reads individual files from within the ear (and could even WRITE files to directories under the ear).</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>So, the questions are:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>1) Can the Mixed Approached deploy exploded content (the prototype's code assumes unexploded, I'm not sure what the code should look like if it wants to deploy exploded deployments)?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>2) Does deployment of exploded content via the Mixed Approach present any problems/issues wrt the new patching mechanism?</p></div>
