[Gytis Trikleris (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1227?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12743682#comment-12743682 ] 

Gytis Trikleris commented on JBTM-1227:
---------------------------------------

Implementations for system libraries, such as StAX, can be added to the application's library. However, to build such applications "--core-library" flag has to be added to dx script. Therefore, application can be built only with ant.

I wrote simple application which uses JBossTS build which does not have tweaks for Android i.e. it requires StAX even from Android. Application's repository is on github: https://github.com/Gytis/jbossts-on-android

Also, based on all the info I found, Android does not provide functionality to access application files directly by path, unless file is in cache. However, JBossTS reads its properties in such way. So I wrote small library to extract file (e.g. arjuna-properties.xml) from assets directory and place it in cache.

> StAX is not available. Since we use it for property configuration, the system fails to run unmodified. There is an equivalent implementation (XmlPullParser) but it is likely other JBoss projects will suffer from this issue.
