[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3280) Dependency attribute optional="true" is ignored for deployment modules

Dependency attribute optional="true" is ignored for deployment modules ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-3280 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3280 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: Class Loading Affects Versions: 7.1.0.CR1b Reporter: Robert Reimann Assignee: Stuart Douglas Setting optional="true" on a deployment module dependency in jboss-deployment-structure.xml is ignored. Allthough the dependency is declared as optional the dependent WAR fails when the optional dependency isn't present. The issue is not limited to subdeployment dependencyies (as described in AS7-2832) or additional dependencies (as described in https://community.jboss.org/message/646012). Even the simple form of optional dependency inclusion fails for deployment modules: {code:xml} <jboss-deployment-structure> <deployment> <dependencies> <module name="org.apache.log4j" /> <module name="deployment.not-yet-existing.jar" optional="true" /> </dependencies> </deployment> </jboss-deployment-structure> {code} {code} 07:05:02,550 INFO [org.jboss.as.controller] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 2) JBAS014774: Service status report JBAS014775: New missing/unsatisfied dependencies: service jboss.module.spec.service."deployment.not-yet-existing.jar".main (missing) dependents: [service jboss.deployment.unit."jboss-as-log4jdemo.war".POST_MODULE, service jboss.module.service."deployment.jboss-as-log4jdemo.war".main] {code}
