[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-1248) Presence of application.xml in .ear causes nested .sar deployment to be skipped from deployment

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1248?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12613401#comment-12613401 ] 

jaikiran pai commented on AS7-1248:
-----------------------------------

Note that section EE.8.5.2 of Java EE6 spec says:

{quote}
The deployment tool must first read the Java EE application deployment descriptor from the application .ear file (META-INF/application.xml). If the deployment descriptor is present, it fully specifies the modules included in the application. 
{quote}

However, it would be good _not_ to impose this rule for JBoss specific .sar nested deployments because there's no way we can specify a .sar as a module within the application.xml

> If a .ear contains a application.xml as follows:
> {code:xml}
> <application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
>     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
>     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
>     http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd"
>     version="6">
> </application>
> {code}
> and also packages nested .sar files within the .ear, then those nested deployments are skipped. Removing the application.xml "fixes" the issue. 
> Since we allow .sar deployments to be picked up even in the absence of application.xml and since (JBoss specific) .sar deployments can't be mapped as a module in application.xml, it would be good to consider these nested .sar deployments, even in the presence of the application.xml.
