Discussion related to http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4763 AIUI, if you add a element to a jboss-web.xml, that results in a call to WebMetaData.addDependency(). In AbstractWarDeployer.deployWebModule() those dependencies get converted into ServiceDependencyMetaData objects in ServiceMetaData.dependencies. From there, my assumption is that data somehow gets converted into DeploymentUnit dependencies. The last bit doesn't seem to happen, which I believe is the cause of JBAS-4763. A search for usage of ServiceMetaData.getDependencies() doesn't show anything but a unit test.[/url] View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4089899#...
