[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBAS-4763) Depends element in jboss-web.xml ignored

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

     [ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4763?page=all ]

Brian Stansberry closed JBAS-4763.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Done

I'm closing this, as the core issue of a war with a missing dependency being complete deployed is resolved.  You can no longer deploy such a war and successfully access it's resources.  And you can count on the dependency being respected if its not missing.  The discussion on the forum of what sort of further failure action the deployers should talk when a dependency is missing is really a separate issue.

> Adding a depends element to jboss-web.xml seems to have no effect.  Simplest way to confirm this is to add a jboss-web.xml with the following to deploy/ROOT.war/WEB-INF and start JBoss:
> <!DOCTYPE jboss-web PUBLIC
>    "-//JBoss//DTD Web Application 5.0//EN"
>    "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss-web_5_0.dtd">
>    
> <jboss-web>
>    <depends>jboss:service=NonExistent</depends>
> </jboss-web>
> The ROOT.war deploys without issue even though the dependency is unresolved.
