[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (AS7-1769) Exposing deployments services through the xml deployment descriptor of the jar/sar/war/ear

Exposing deployments services through the xml deployment descriptor of the jar/sar/war/ear ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: AS7-1769 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1769 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Feature Request Components: EJB, JPA / Hibernate Affects Versions: 7.0.1.Final Environment: Linux, Window, MacOS, *BSD Reporter: Nikos Ballas Assignee: Carlo de Wolf Following scenario: Web application which is assembled by 4 different jars/wars: (1)myapp-model.jar -> contains the model + persistence.xml containing the definition of a CMT. (2)myapp-buisness.jar -> contains buisness EJB3's Spring Beans, whatever you can think of. (3)myapp-messaging.jar -> Contains MDB's for sending messages to several queues. (4)myapp-console.war -> Contains the web interface of the app. Now the -> define a dependency from a project to another to function,i.e. A->B means that A project has a dependency in B. Now the graph of dependencies between projects are: (4)->(2)->(1). Currently in jboss as 7 you are able to deploy your application either as module exposing several services(even though there is no clear documentation on how you do that.You follow the old way, you have to do something else?Nowhere in any documentation isn't that documented.) or you can use the deployments folder and copy everything there.Given the previous scenario if we deploy the module(2) then even if we have as dependency in the jboss-deployment-structure.xml the reference to the module(1) then we will get an exception saying that the persistence unit defined isn't accessible or undefined for the module(2). Now with the new version of jboss that allow us to manipulate the dependencies using the module mechanism and the well defined deployment and dependencies between projects it would be really useful if. When we define a dependency from one module to another, in my example from (2)->(1), also the mcs services defined are also exported in the target deployment, thus allowing access to the pu with the name for example is deployed. I don't know if this can be applied for the module architecture also. regards Nick -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
