Tom Fonteyne reopened JBWEB-279:
--------------------------------
The overlay functionality has nothing to do with the servlet spec. The overlay mechanism
provides an extra, JBoss specific, feature
Hence re-opening as "overlay" as currently defined and support through
jboss-web.xml is not working
Overlays do not work as expected
--------------------------------
Key: JBWEB-279
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-279
Project: JBoss Web
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: Core
Affects Versions: JBossWeb-7.2.1.GA
Reporter: Mustafa Musaji
Assignee: Remy Maucherat
Attachments: overlay.patch
It is expected that the <overlay> element in jboss-web.xml has the same outcome as
the overlay feature in the CLI:
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS72/Deployment+Overlays
In jboss-web.xml the overlays element is not used to actually overlay existing files but
to add files to a deployment. This is confusing and either this should work the same as
the CLI or the documentation around the <overlay> element in jboss-web.xml should
clearly state this is not the case and that we do not replace artifacts but rather
Attached is a proposed patch that fixes this issue.
