[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAS-4283) JBoss application server appears to be matching on *ra.xml inside the .rar file when deploying

Adrian Brock commented on JBAS-4283:
------------------------------------

Don't re-open this issue just because the xml file is in a nested jar file.

JBoss will not deploy any jar file that contains an unrecognised META-INF/*.xml (nested or otherwise)

It will assume that any xml file is intended to be handled by a deployer and will fail the deployment
if there is no deployer to handle it.

This is a deliberate design decision so you can do things like deploy ejb or war archives inside rars
(or any other deployment type that allows nesting).

> In attempting to deploy Mule on JBoss using the rar deployment, I noticed that although a proper ra-xml file exists for JBoss deployment inside the rar file, JBoss rejects anything that contains any other file which matches the pattern but does not pertain to JBoss deployment. In my case this occurs in the resource adapter jar file which has a file called oc4j-ra.xml file inside it.  It seems to me that JBoss is matching on *ra.xml which may be the cause of the problem. Below is the relevant extract from the log file.
