[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (GTNPC-76) Hotdeploy of a portlet war, see the portlet.xml loaded before the web.xml

Hotdeploy of a portlet war, see the portlet.xml loaded before the web.xml ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPC-76 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPC-76 Project: GateIn Portlet Container Issue Type: Quality Risk Reporter: Dimitri BAELI Assignee: Matt Wringe Attachments: PortletAndServletLoadOrderTest.war, PortletServletLoadOrder.zip CONTEXT: * A war with a portlet deployed in EPP/GateIn PROBLEM: * As seen in the Forum (http://community.jboss.org/thread/157804) the servlet / portlet init order is changing between normal startup and hotdeploy. * This breaks the hotdeployment of Spring MVC Portlets (which requires the Spring RootContext to be initialized). * This is a quality risk as the loading order is not consitent * This breaks the hotdeployment feature of JBossStudio of manual HotDeployment, and it's a huge pain for developpers REPRODUCE: * To reproduce, I've created a minimalist project (without Spring) that shows the difference between start order init order (normal/hotdeploy). * Put the war in a EPP/GateIn deploy dir * Start the server * The logs will contain this for the fresh start-up: {code} 03:14:47,514 INFO [STDOUT] SampleServlet init. ... 03:15:38,088 INFO [STDOUT] HelloWorldPortlet init. {code} * Touch the war file in the deploy dir * The logs will contain this for the fresh start-up: {code} 03:16:24,907 INFO [TomcatDeployment] undeploy, ctxPath=/PortletAndServletLoadOrderTest 03:16:24,979 INFO [STDOUT] HelloWorldPortlet destroy. 03:16:25,180 WARN [MainResourceResolver] Cannot find servlet context module 03:16:25,181 INFO [STDOUT] SampleServlet destroy. 03:16:25,322 INFO [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/PortletAndServletLoadOrderTest 03:16:25,461 INFO [STDOUT] HelloWorldPortlet init. 03:16:25,467 INFO [STDOUT] SampleServlet init. {code} * Where we see that the Portlet is inited before the portlet EXPECTED: * web.xml is initialized before portlet.xml when the war is Hotdeployed, like during a normal startup
