XMLs contained by archives are parsed aggressively by deployers, resulting in unexpected errors
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-7834
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7834
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Deployers
            Reporter: Marius Bogoevici
            Assignee: Ales Justin


Take a working application (like a very basic war) and add a file ending in -hibernate.xml (e.g. /WEB-INF/application-hibernate.xml) which references a schema which is unknown to the Hibernate Deployer (or no schema).

A simple file containing this:

<broken/>

would do. 

>From this point on, the application will fail deploying consistently. Unfortunately, application-hibernate.xml is not a reserved file name under JavaEE, so a valid application may contain such files and fail to deploy. In such cases, the application server should be more lenient and ignore those files.

Note 1: the problem may appear for other suffixes.

Note 2: the problem has been sporadically noticed in the Spring world, but it's not necessarily a Spring-related issue (heavy usage of XML in Spring may trigger the problem more consistently).
