[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-780) sub-deployments shouldn't be assumed to be VFS children of the parent deployment

sub-deployments shouldn't be assumed to be VFS children of the parent deployment -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-780 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-780 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Tobias Crawley Fix For: Open To Community With TorqueBox, we allow deploying apps that are outside of the deployed artifact. We support a deployment descriptor inside a jar/ear/war that points to an external app directory tree. SubDeploymentProcessor assumes that the root of the sub-deployment is a VFS child of the parent, which won't be the case for TorqueBox: {preformat} final String relativePath = childRoot.getRoot().getPathNameRelativeTo(parentRoot.getRoot()); {preformat} It should be simple enough to only expand the path if it is not absolute: {preformat} final String relativePath = null; if (childRoot.getRoot().isRoot()) { relativePath = childRoot.getRoot().getPathName(); } else { relativePath = childRoot.getRoot().getPathNameRelativeTo(parentRoot.getRoot()); } {preformat}
