Class-Path entries—in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of a sub-deployment module—pointing to resources directories within the EAR are not supported ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-2539 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2539 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Deployment, Modules Affects Versions: 7.1.0.Alpha1 Environment: Windows 7 64-bit Reporter: Abhi S Assignee: Thomas Diesler Attachments: jee-app.ear According to the JEE 6 specification, section EE.8.2.1 (Bundled Libraries), Class-path entries—in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of a sub-deployment module—pointing to resources directories within the EAR could be used by the application developer to add these directories to the classpath of the sub-module. However, this functionality has not yet been implemented in the JBoss AS7.1 (alpha-2 nightly build). *Relevant JEE 6 spec, section EE.8.2.1, quotes:* _Class-Path: list-of-jar-files-or-directories-separated-by-spaces_ _Only JAR format files or directories containing class files or resources to be loaded directly by a standard class loader should be the target of a Class-Path reference; such files are always named with a .jar extension._ This support for this functionality is *required* by the specification for the JBoss AS7.1 to be fully JEE 6 compliant. *Side note:* This functionality is supported in JBoss 5.1, Weblogic, and WebSphere. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
