[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (AS7-708) Ability to specify classloading exceptions to ignore similar to scanning-deployers-jboss-beans.xml

Lincoln Baxter III commented on AS7-708:
----------------------------------------

In addition, even if this is something that is "wrong" with the metawidget JAR, if it is not a beans, EJB, JPA (or other EE type) archive, I don't think it should be able to break deployment. Just from a user-experience standpoint, this means that people can include jars that might have "problems" that would break otherwise successful deployments. True, there may be something "wrong" but say for example, they are doing classloading at runtime (URLClassLoader) to pull in these JAR files from somewhere else on the server to satisfy these dependencies before they are consumed in the application. That means they would no longer be able to utilize the strategy... now... that may not be the best example in the world becuase they should really put those libs in the server lib (more difficult on AS7?) but in reality, we should not introduce limitations like this, even if it is "not a great idea"

My 2 cents.

> We need to be able to specify exceptions to ignore during classpath scanning. This was available in AS6, we need it in AS7, or something similar. Please see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-156
