[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBWEB-279) Overlays do not work as expected
[
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-279?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin....
]
Mustafa Musaji updated JBWEB-279:
---------------------------------
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a simple WAR with jboss-web.xml as below pointing to an overlay directory on your
local machine
{code:xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web version="7.0"
xmlns:jboss="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee jboss-web_7_0.xsd ">
<overlay>/home/mmusaji/example/jboss-as-helloworld/</overlay>
</jboss-web>
{code}
If within this directory you have a index.html as well as your webapp, the one in your WAR
is found. However, the CLI approach replaces the file with the one defined in the overlay.
The jboss-web.xml approach works only if the file is not present in your webapp (i.e. it
adds the file to your web app).

Key: JBWEB-279
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-279
Project: JBoss Web
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: Core
Affects Versions: JBossWeb-7.2.1.GA
Reporter: Mustafa Musaji
Assignee: Remy Maucherat
It is expected that the <overlay> element in jboss-web.xml has the same outcome as
the overlay feature in the CLI:
https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS72/Deployment+Overlays
In jboss-web.xml the overlays element is not used to actually overlay existing files but
to add files to a deployment. This is confusing and either this should work the same as
the CLI or the documentation around the <overlay> element in jboss-web.xml should
clearly state this is not the case and that we do not replace artifacts but rather
Attached is a proposed patch that fixes this issue.
