Deploy a .ear file with no deployment descriptor(META-INF/application.xml) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3409 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3409 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Deployment services Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta Reporter: Rajesh Rajasekaran Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis Priority: Blocker Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta The javaee5 spec (EE8.4.2 Deploying a Java EE application) has a set of rules to deploy an application .ear file which does not have a deployment descriptor. (descriptorMETA-INF/application.xml) Currently we get a RunTimeException when the application.xml is not found. org.jboss.deployment.spi.DeploymentManagerImpl@16b8f8eb java.lang.RuntimeException: cannot obtain module type 07-21-2006 13:12:57: Harness - Deployment of app(s) from: /home/rrajasekaran/tck5/javaeetck/dist/com/sun/ts/tests/samples/javamail/ee/transport failed! at org.jboss.deployment.spi.DeploymentManagerImpl.createDeployment(DeploymentManagerImpl.java:481) at org.jboss.deployment.spi.DeploymentManagerImpl.distribute(DeploymentManagerImpl.java:348) The moduleType in org.jboss.deployment.spi.DeploymentManageImpl.createDeployment() is not set when the application.xml is not set. All CTS tests deploy .ear files with no application.xml I ve made this issue a blocker because unless this is fixed we would be unable to run the cts tests. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
