[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-6843) Metadata not created for deployments listed through Classpath attribute of Manifest.MF files

Metadata not created for deployments listed through Classpath attribute of Manifest.MF files -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-6843 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-6843 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Deployers Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.1.0.Beta1, JBossAS-5.1.0.CR1 Reporter: jaikiran pai Assignee: Ales Justin Attachments: jboss-deployers-vfs.jar, jboss-deployers-vfs.jar, SampleEAR.zip If a (EJB) *deployment* jar contains a MANIFEST.MF which points to another *deployment* (not a plain jar) through the ClassPath attribute, then the deployment framework does not generate metadata for the deployment listed in MANIFEST.MF Ex: A.jar is an EJB3 deployment which contains a MANIFEST.MF pointing to B.jar (another EJB3 deployment). While processing A.jar (and its entries in MANIFEST.MF), the deployment framework does not generate metadata for B.jar As per EJB3.0 core spec, section 20.3: The ejb-jar file must contain, either by inclusion or by reference, the class files of each enterprise bean as follows: - The enterprise bean class. - The enterprise bean business interfaces, web service endpoint interfaces, and home and component interfaces. - Interceptor classes. - The primary key class if the bean is an entity bean. We say that a jar file contains a second file "by reference" if the second file is named in the Class-Path attribute in the Manifest file of the referencing jar file or is contained (either by inclusion or by reference) in another jar file that is named in the Class-Path attribute in the Manifest file of the referencing jar file.
