[jbossws-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBWS-3865) Add ability to consume jboss-webservices.xml located in META-INF of EAR archive

Add ability to consume jboss-webservices.xml located in META-INF of EAR archive ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-3865 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWS-3865 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Feature Request Components: jbossws-cxf Reporter: Rostislav Svoboda Assignee: Alessio Soldano Fix For: jbossws-cxf-5.1.0.Final Motivation from IRC chat: <rsvoboda> asoldano, ping <asoldano> rsvoboda, pong <rsvoboda> asoldano, Hi Alessio, my colleague asked me if it's possible to add jboss-webservices.xml into META-INF in ear ... to avoid duplication in WEB-INF for more war archive ... I'm not sure we support this <rsvoboda> asoldano, he is interested in https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/JBWS/Apache+CXF+integration#ApacheC... <asoldano> rsvoboda, mmh... I think that's not going to work atm, but he can create a jira and we can evaluate feasibility <rsvoboda> asoldano, ok, he did some experiments and properties defined in META-INF weren't propagated ... and I wasn't sure we even support it :) <asoldano> rsvoboda, when we added the jboss-webservices.xml we didn't even think about ears ;) I think reflecting jboss-webservices.xml located in META-INF of EAR archive is "enterprise feature" we should consider. There is open question what to do when warXY included in EAR contains jboss-webservices.xml too... - accept only properties defined in jboss-webservices.xml from META-INF of EAR archive - accept only properties defined in jboss-webservices.xml from WEB-INF of warXY archive - merge properties defined in jboss-webservices.xml from both location (sub-archive jboss-webservices.xml overrides properties defined in EAR)
