Re: [jboss-as7-dev] No validation of deployment descriptors

I can just put in my 5 cents: we don't prevent deployment in tools if there are validation errors since the server or frameworks are normally more lenient. We warn/error where we can, but does not prevent deployment. If there are errors that prevents deployment we expect the server to report them. i.e. example where too strict validation before deployment is if your war is saying it is 3.0 in the web.xml - if we had validated that against JBoss 5 which is reported to only support 2.5 it would not have been possible to deploy them even though it supported most web.xml v 3.0. Its always a balance. I would thus say the validation should be possible on both sides but the JSR88 shouldn't force validation errors to prevent deployment. /max On Nov 30, 2011, at 16:59, Thomas Diesler wrote: /max http://about.me/maxandersen
