[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3116) implement annotations options when specifying dependencies in jboss-deployment-structure.xml

implement annotations options when specifying dependencies in jboss-deployment-structure.xml -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-3116 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3116 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Server Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Beta1b Reporter: Peter Skopek Assignee: Stuart Douglas Priority: Critical Fix For: 7.1.0.Final Attachments: AS7-3106.patch Implement annotation option of dependency specification as known in MANIFEST.MF to jboss-deployment-structure.xml. {noformat} Dependencies: org.picketlink annotations {noformat} I need to specify something like this for PicketLink STS (form of web app with webservices) which has all the classes in static module in $JBOSS_HOME/modules: {noformat} <jboss-deployment-structure> <deployment> <dependencies> <module name="org.picketlink" annotations="true"> <imports> <exclude path="org/picketlink/identity/federation/core/pdp/**"/> </imports> </module> </dependencies> </deployment> </jboss-deployment-structure> {noformat} When combining MANIFEST.MF approach and jboss-deployment-structure.xml the exclude is taken into account we end up with all endpoints of org.picketlink module instantiated which is of course wrong. Solution to this problem is necessary for PicketLink STS and PDP being able to deploy and function properly. To be able to try this picketlink resources need to be jandexed. See attached temporary patch.
