Gregor Rosenauer updated WFLY-7708:
-----------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
support specifying the runtime-name in the deployment descriptor
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WFLY-7708
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-7708
Project: WildFly
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: EE
Affects Versions: 9.0.2.Final
Environment: Java EE 7
Reporter: Gregor Rosenauer
Priority: Minor
Labels: EE, deployment, descriptor
There is often a need to change the name of a deployment, e.g. the EAR, from the default
name to a stable name.
The problem is that common Maven practice mandates a version suffix, generating a fully
versioned EAR. Wildfly by default (which is only changable from CLI/management console)
takes the full name without the extension.
This leads to clunky and brittle code, e.g. JNDI lookups *have* to use the full name
including version, which is most often undesirable.
