Not possible to overlay non existing file in WAR ------------------------------------------------ Key: WFCORE-761 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-761 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Server Reporter: Bartosz Baranowski Assignee: Jason Greene Priority: Critical Labels: downstream_dependency It is either bug in how deployments are treated or how overlay/vfs work. Steps to reproduce: 1. deploy undexploded war with jar inside 2. add overlay that will add non existing file in jar Result: exception: Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: JBAS018776: Failed to get content for deployment overlay WEB-INF/lib/overlayed.jar//META-INF/x/file.txt at WEB-INF/lib/overlayed.jar//META-INF/x/file.txt Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /content/shell.war/WEB-INF/lib/overlayed.jar/META-INF/x/file.txt"}} at org.jboss.as.test.integration.management.ManagementOperations.executeOperation(ManagementOperations.java:67) at org.jboss.as.test.integration.management.ManagementOperations.executeOperation(ManagementOperations.java:37) at org.jboss.as.test.integration.deployment.deploymentoverlay.jar.OverlayUtils.setupOverlay(OverlayUtils.java:76) at org.jboss.as.test.integration.deployment.deploymentoverlay.war.OverlayNonExistingResourceTestCase.testOverlay(OverlayNonExistingResourceTestCase.java:67) Expectation: should work. It actually does work, if war is really exploded or 'if(exploded)' part in overlay is removed from overlay processor and everything is handled via: https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/wildfly-core/blob/a75af9118c4062fafb899...
