[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SHRINKWRAP-266) Manifest container for WebArchive should be WEB-INF/classes/META-INF

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKWRAP-266?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] Aslak Knutsen commented on SHRINKWRAP-266: ------------------------------------------ A WebArchive is a composit Archive type which does not really match our idea of Containers, or more, it matches multiple of the same container types at once. |/|Special to WebArchive, (a root that is not part of Classpath?)| |/WEB-INF/|Special to WebArchive| |/WEB-INF/classes/*|A exploded JavaArchive| |/WEB-INF/lib/*|Multiple packed JavaArchives| |/META-INF/*|Standard ManifestContainer for MANIFEST.FM but nothing more?| Our current model does not support the idea of a whole ArchiveType as a nested Container. It could look a bit more like this (i'm sure we can make it less clunky with some thought): {code} public interface WebArchive extends ManifestContainer, // /META-INF LibraryContainer, // /WEB-INF/lib WebContainer, // / SingleNestedContainer<JavaArchive> // /WEB-INF/classes {} public interface SingleNestedContainer<T> { T nested() } ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class) .addAsWebResource("my.jsp") // / .nested() .addClasses() // /WEB-INF/classes .addAsServiceProvider() // /WEB-INF/classes/META-INF {code} Not loving the extract level(or the names), but it does model how it works. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
