[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-5467) Order files loaded by the SARDeployer

Order files loaded by the SARDeployer ------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5467 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5467 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: System service Reporter: Brian Egge Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis Priority: Optional Attachments: sardeployer-sorting.diff Original Estimate: 15 minutes Remaining Estimate: 15 minutes Java's File.listFiles returns files in a not always consistent order. This can be seen by listing a large directory on different platforms, or even on the same platform. Specifically, on Solaris we had copied the deploy directory, and found the behavior of our app changed. This was due to two jar files having different versions of the same class. Always loading files in the same order would reduce the chance of the order randomly changing.
