[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-13040) Global directory user experience improvements

------------------------------------
Summary: Global directory user experience improvements
Key: WFLY-13040
URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-13040
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: EE, Management
Reporter: Martin Svehla
Assignee: Brian Stansberry
This is follow up issue for https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFLY-1160.
During development there were discussed few ways of improving user experience of global
directory that weren't implemented as part of the original feature:
1. If some class from global directory throws an exception, it would be helpful is user
was informed which jar contains this class.
2. If global directory contains corrupted jar file (e.g. text file which was renamed to
.jar), deployment won't be successfully deployed. Server logs contains information
that zip file could not be opened. Cli only prints out that deployment is missing
dependencies - which isn't necessarily true.
It's possible that deployment isn't missing any dependencies - in this case, it
would be better just to display a warning that there is a corrupted jar in global
directory.
3. It would be good if users could specify dependencies for their libraries, something
like this:
{code:java}
/subsystem=ee/global-directory=my-common-libs:add(path=lib, relative-to=jboss.home.dir,
dependencies=[{name=org.hibernate.something,export=true,import=false}])
{code}
4. If jar contains class that has same name and package as some java ee class, for example
custom javax.ws.rs.client.Client, it can cause error during execution:
{code:java}
org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnhandledException: java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraint
violation: loader (instance of org/jboss/modules/ModuleClassLoader) previously initiated
loading for a different type with name "javax/ws/rs/client/Client"
{code}
It would be better if user was informed about duplicity during deployment.
5. If global directory has following hierarchy:
a/a.1.jar
---- A.class
b/a.2.jar
---- A.class
---- B.class
and class B uses A's feature that is only available in a.2.jar version of A.class then
it fails during execution when class B tries to access this feature of class A (because
class A is loaded from a.1.jar and A in a.2.jar is ignored).
As before, it would be better if user was informed about presence of duplicate class A in
global directory during deployment.
