[wildfly-dev] Limit type of the deployment in WildFly?

I don't see the file type thing as being a security issue, since deployments are just bits to WildFly unless one of our deployment unit processors recognizes the deployment type. Enforcing file types just helps prevent users trying to deploy the wrong file. Doing this would require forcing all extensions to register expected file types with the kernel. This probably wouldn't be that big of a deal for extensions that are part of WildFly itself, but it would be a breaking change for any externally developed extensions that use different file extensions. It doesn't seem worth it to me, given the long list of things we have to work on. By "file types" here, I mean file extension. If checking for a particular file structure is meant (e.g. the file structures named by media type suffixes in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6839) then that's a significantly different requirement that needs clarification. -- Brian Stansberry Senior Principal Software Engineer JBoss by Red Hat
