[cdi-dev] [JBoss JIRA] (CDI-300) The entire RAR recognized as one bean archive

The entire RAR recognized as one bean archive --------------------------------------------- Key: CDI-300 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-300 Project: CDI Specification Issues Issue Type: Clarification Reporter: Martin Kouba Assignee: Pete Muir Fix For: 1.1.PFD The spec states: {quote} A library jar, EJB jar, application client jar or *rar archive* is a bean archive if it has a file named beans.xml in the META-INF directory. ... In an application deployed as an ear, the container searches every bean archive bundled with or referenced by the ear, including bean archives bundled with or referenced by wars and EJB jars contained in the ear. The bean archives might be library jars, EJB jars, rars or war WEB-INF/classes directories. {quote} I wonder if the intention wasn't to support *jars packaged inside RAR* instead of the whole RAR. Though I'm not sure about RAR packaging structure.
