Re: [wildfly-dev] [wildfly-swarm-internal] Updating WildFly instance with the Provisioning Tool

In the case of the provisioning tools, we don't generate module.xml files. Modules are provided by the developers/build process. We provide the mechanism to generate packages from the modules and then the feature-pack. When a feature-pack is generated, we know which other feature-packs it depends on. Then when we generate a package from a module we process the module dependencies and figure out on which package(s) from which feature-pack(s) the package we generate should depend on. I am still not sure whether that answers your question since it's formulated in the context of Swarm and I have a trouble translating it into the context of the feature-pack-based provisioning. I am interested in covering your requirements though. So if it makes sense to you let's continue the discussion or schedule a call to clear things out.

Starting from a pom that contains the artifact dependencies, how to translate this into an appropriate module.xml for the output fraction is a trial and error process currently. Does the information exist so that one could go from GAV and/or package names dependencies to the module that provides said dependencies from amongst a set of wildfly feature pack?

But I can provide some basic info on how feature-packs are authored for the wildfly releases (core, servlet, full). Perhaps then you could ask a more specific question. A feature-pack represents a specific release. So there will be a feature-pack for the core, another one for the servlet distribution and another one for the full one. In feature-packs, modules are organized into packages (which is an atomic unit of content possibly with dependencies on other packages from the same or another feature-pack). When a feature-pack is generated, the packages are generated from the modules. Each module becomes are package in a feature-pack. And module dependencies become package dependencies. Is it any close to the issue you described? On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 1:51 AM, Scott Stark <sstark(a)redhat.com <mailto:sstark@redhat.com>> wrote: Interesting. It brings up a discussion point I have been meaning to raise across the Wildfly and Wildfly-Swarm teams regarding tools for the step before this assembly step of feature-packs and fractions into a distributable archive. The issue I have seen is that when authoring a feature-pack or fraction, it is difficult to know how to configure the module dependencies. One is often starting with GAV dependencies from a spec, and it is difficult to know how those map onto modules in existing feature-packs for fractions. Do we have any tooling in this area to make this task not a trial and error effort?
